On 16 August 2023, the Federal Criminal Police Office presented the "Bundeslagebild Cybercrime 2022" together with the digital association Bitkom. According to the report, Cybercrime offences in Germany are still at a record high. Specifically, the authorities registered 136,865 cases of cybercrime last year. Based on the damage caused by cybercrime, which was estimated at 203 billion euros in the Economic Protection Report 2022, the phenomenon continues to rank in the top ranks in terms of its damage potential. With the project "Way to basic protection", the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is now helping municipalities to get started with IT protection. The following section looks at the extent to which Small and Mid-sized Enterprises (SMEs) can also take advantage of this approach as a low-threshold introduction.
