Government : IT-Security by secunet

Secure Electronic Processes for Public Administration

The objective of the e-government 2.0 programme is to reduce bureaucracy and modernise administration. Citizens and companies alike should be able to carry out business quickly and simply without having to compromise data protection and IT security. This aim is being realised in numerous projects at federal, state and municipal levels, for example:

Electronic health cards (eGK, the German health card)
Protected communication spaces on the Internet – known as De-Mail
Nationwide digital radio networks for public authorities and organisations entrusted with security tasks (BOS-Digitalfunk, a mobile digital communications project)
Secure communication with tax authorities (ELSTER, the German electronic tax declaration system)
Electronic passports (ePass) / Electronic identity cards (ePA)

secunet is completely familiar with the processes and procedures typical in public administration – at municipal, state and federal levels. We know the particular requirements of special public sector scenarios and issues. Our IT security specialists put this to the test in their day-to-day work in real-life projects. Our serving as an official partner to the German Federal Government is an expression of the special trust which has developed as a result of these projects.
