📋 Tender Overview
Crisis management was subjected to a nationwide stress test during the LÜKEX23 exercise. In Baden-Württemberg, everything came together in the Ministry of the Interior: in the preparation, the exercise control, the implementation and now also in the evaluation.
“We subjected our crisis management to a stress test for two days. And it has been confirmed once again: practicing for emergencies is a very strong foundation. This is the only way we can be optimally prepared for crises that we all hope will never occur. Together with all other 15 countries, we took part in the largest exercise of its kind to date. For the first time, all 16 countries were there and we as a country were broadly involved with our own crisis management structures. The exercise scenario was highly topical. A cyber attack was carried out on the government and administrations. “All threads came together in the Ministry of the Interior: preparation, exercise control, implementation and evaluation,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Thomas Stroblwith a view to the crisis management exercise LÜKEX23 .
Baden-Württemberg widely participated in the exercise. The State Ministry , all eleven specialist ministries, the cybersecurity agency , the state's IT service provider BITBW and the regional councils of Freiburg , Tübingen and Stuttgart have practiced - with varying degrees of intensity.
“Participation in the LÜKEX exercise has shown that such exercises are irreplaceable. We are now setting about carefully evaluating and processing the findings and using them to make our crisis management even more crisis-proof. Because nothing is so good that it couldn’t get even better,” emphasized the Interior Minister.
After the exercise is before the exercise
“The first conclusion we can draw from LÜKEX 23 is that the participating ministries and administrations handled the cyber attacks well. We are now going into intensive detailed analysis in order to improve further. One thing is clear: after the exercise is before the exercise,” said Minister Thomas Strobl, summarizing the first results of the exercise.
“Such an exercise would not work without the large number of employees from the state authorities involved in Baden-Württemberg, who were involved in the planning, preparation and control of the core exercise days for months. Together with the federal level, in particular the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland (BMI), the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), as well as the other participating countries, LÜKEX 23 was an all-round successful event Exercise – thank you very much for that!” said Interior Minister Thomas Strobl at the end of the cross-state crisis management exercise LÜKEX 23.
