- Abstract
The article "Pulling the Plug on the City: Cyber Attacks on Municipal Utilities" deals with the threats that municipal utilities are exposed to in the digital economy. Cyber attacks pose a concrete danger as they can lead to widespread damage. So far, known cyber attacks on municipal utilities in Germany have mainly affected office communication, while the electricity, water, and gas networks are additionally protected. An IT security catalog has been created in accordance with § 11 paragraph 1a of the Energy Industry Act to improve security. Municipal utilities must take measures to raise awareness among their employees and implement access policies. Collaboration and emergency drills are also important.
