Berlin cuts two state ministries off government network after security breach

Berlin disconnected two state ministries from its government network on Friday following a security breach. The ministries, responsible for urban development, construction, housing, and environmental/transport matters, remain isolated as a precautionary measure while the incident is investigated.

Why it matters: Government IT teams and public sector CISO's must assess whether similar network segmentation or response procedures are in place for critical infrastructure ministries; this affects continuity of government services and signals broader risk to state-level networks.
