Cybersecurity: Security Cooperation between the Ministry of the Interior and the Association of Municipalities
Cyberattacks are the focus of the security cooperation. In February and March, for example, the town halls in Tulln and Maria Enzersdorf (Mödling district) were victims of hacker attacks. Prevention is considered a significant component of the collaboration on cybersecurity within the framework of the "Gemeinsam.Sicher" initiative.
Training and seminars for employees at the municipal level on cybersecurity
Cybercrime is the area in crime statistics that is increasing the most and also has an impact on the municipal level, said Karner. In municipal offices "from Lake Constance to Lake Neusiedl," it will be about training and seminars for employees. Mayors and municipal security officers, in turn, are sensors for identifying potential pressure points, the minister cited the transport sector or areas of insecurity. A twelve-point program is in place. Pressl spoke of the renewal of a pact concluded nine years ago. A "sub-area that we particularly want to address" is now cybercrime.
