InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
Germany is set to introduce a dedicated cyber branch in its military structure to counter the growing cyber threats. The German Cyber and Information Domain Service (CIR) will become the fourth independent branch of the country’s armed forces.
“Like the army, air force and navy, it has responsibility for carrying out military actions — in the cyber and information space,” Germany’s defense minister, Boris Pistorius, said in a statement.

Pistorius said CIR will fight against hybrid threats like disinformation and influence operations, and will also handle tasks like electronic warfare.
The German military will have a new central command that combines two separate commands for domestic and foreign operations.
The aim of revamping the German army, or Bundeswehr, is to adapt it to the “changing times” and the increasing threats posed by Russia.
“Since Russia has questioned the European peace order, a particular threat situation has arisen for Germany and its allies,” Pistorius said.
“No one should have the idea of attacking us as a NATO territory. We have to convey this credibly and truthfully,” he told reporters during a press conference in Berlin.
Pistorius says the Bundeswehr will need an extra $7.06 billion in 2025 to reach the NATO defense spending goal of 2% of gross domestic product in the next few years.
