Abstract
Cybersecurity as a responsibility of public institutions and as a field of cooperation between the government and the private sector is at odds with existing responsibilities. The protection of digital systems concerns a wide range of public services and organisations. In Germany, this cross-cutting nature of cybersecurity meets an already strongly subdivided structure of responsibilities in the area of security. Also, cybersecurity requires far greater cooperation between the state and business than traditional security policy challenges, since the majority of systems affected by cyber attacks are not within the state’s sphere of responsibility. As a result, there are various forms of public-private cooperation. These factors lead to a confusing and immature allocation of cybersecurity responsibilities.
