Germany does not have an adequate legal framework to deal with counter-attacks to cyber threats, and one is unlikely to be in place before the country's general election in December, according to Andreas Koenen, head of the cyber security directorate at the Interior Ministry. His comments came after the country's deputy defence minister, Katrin Suder, said the country's military forces could be called upon to retaliate to a cyber attack. Agnieszka Brugger, a member of the pro-environment Greens, called for the creation of a single parliamentary control body.
