In a rapidly changing world, there are many topics that significantly influence perimeter security. Just to name a few examples: the KRITIS implementation law, cloud technologies, BIM (Building Information Modeling), 3D, biometrics, NIS-2 – and more. All of these developments require extended measures and bring perimeter security into a new dimension.
Many of the associated requirements are still open, as the KRITIS implementation law – a fundamental basis – has not yet been adopted.
What does the National KRITIS Resilience Strategy entail?
With the KRITIS umbrella law, which was finally adopted on January 29, 2026, and the National KRITIS Resilience Strategy, the Federal Government aims to comprehensively strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure.
The strategy establishes the following points:
- The uniform identification and registration of critical facilities across Germany,
- mandatory technical, organizational, and security-related measures to increase resilience,
- clear requirements that operators can use to plan their protection and emergency response concepts,
- as well as guidance and example measures that serve as guidelines for implementation.
As the legally required measures come into effect step by step, we would like to begin preparing with you now for what will be relevant to operators of critical infrastructure in the near future. To this end, we intend to present initial approaches, develop concrete implementation steps, and – where possible – initiate practical measures.
During our congress on 22 and 23 April, we will address these topics in detail. There, we would like to discuss with you how institutions and companies can meet the new requirements efficiently and effectively.
The goal is to learn from the experiences of recent years, address current challenges, and actively shape the future.
To this end, we will present planning guidelines, implementation strategies, and practical solutions, and together we will plan the next steps — such as necessary training, follow-up conferences, or the development of specific planning tools.
