German Federal Government Passed a Draft Law Amending Germany’s Information Technology Laws
On December 16, 2020, the German Federal Government passed a draft law that substantially amends some of Germany’s information technology laws.
These amendments aim to adapt the current legal framework to the increasing digitalization of products and services, the proliferation of IoT products, and the appearance of new cybersecurity threats. The draft law is expected to be enacted in the German Parliament in the first quarter of 2021.
