Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 2015, vol. 9, issue 2, 164-176

Abstract: The German government is seeking to enhance the resilience of critical national infrastructures via its new IT Security Law. This paper analyses the content of the law, as well as the limitations and constraints arising from the conflicting interests of affected stakeholders. The paper also offers solutions to help the IT Security Law fulfil its potential despite the constraints.
