Bereits in den vergangenen Jahren konnte die Deutsche Bundesbank wichtige Fortschritte im Bereich der absoluten Verbräuche erzielen. Bis 2023 hat sie den Gesamtverbrauch von Energie, Wasser und Papier weiter gesenkt. 2024 wurden weitere Maßnahmen eingeleitet, darunter die Reduktion von Büroflächen durch die Einführung flexibler Arbeitsmodelle. Die Grundlagen der Datenerfassung wurden verbessert, um dadurch zielgerichtetere Maßnahmen zur Erreichung der Ziele einzuleiten.

TIBER-DE (Threat Intelligence-based Ethical Red Teaming) is a framework for threat-led ethical hacking exercises to strengthen the cyber resilience of the German financial sector. Banks, insurance companies, financial market infrastructures and key service providers of the aforementioned can participate in TIBER-DE tests on a voluntary basis to perform a realistic assessment of their cyber resilience. Interested companies can obtain non-binding information about the modalities of the tests (contact see right column). Providers who offer Red Teaming or Threat Intelligence services according to the TIBER-DE framework can also approach us in order to introduce themselves.
