Julia Klöckner: Cyber ​​security for medium -sized businesses must have priority

Berlin is all about cyber risk! In the middle of the heated debate about the national security strategy, Julia Klöckner, the economic policy spokeswoman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, expressed sharp criticism: The traffic light coalition must finally take cyber security for companies seriously!

The alarming numbers speak for themselves: In 2023, the economic damage due to cyber attacks amounts to an incredible 142 billion euros! And who suffers the most? Not the large corporations, but the often unprotected middle class, which is repeatedly the target of international hackers!

call to the political reaction

Klöckner demands strong measures: "Cyber ​​security must be at the top of the agenda in the Federal Ministry of Economics!" She calls. Digital sovereignty is not just a technical challenge, but a task of the highest political and economic relevance. More and more weaknesses in software use cybercriminals to blackmail and paralyze companies.

But that's not the only problem. Klöckner warns of dangerous development - transparency requirements for companies are increasingly becoming a real security risk. When Hacker knows the entire supply chain of a company, they are looking for weak points. A catastrophic scenario that can have drastic consequences for many companies!

companies in sight

"We finally have to take economic protection seriously!" is Klöckner's urgent call. Medium -sized companies are not only faced with the attacks of cybercriminals, but also state -controlled hacking from abroad. A clear and consistent political answer is required here!

The CDU/CSU parliamentary group stamped for freedom, cohesion and personal responsibility. Under the chairmanship of Friedrich Merz, responsibility is carried out to protect the citizens in a strong, freedom-democratic constitutional state. The time to act is now!
