Report: Three German Intelligence Agencies Plan Google CloudThe planned system is to be disconnected from both the internet and Google's general cloud.
- Tagesschau reports that the BND, BfV and Military Counterintelligence Service intend to use a distributed Google cloud for classified information.
- Tagesschau reports that the IT service provider BWI is expected to help operate the intelligence cloud.
- The BSI is still reviewing components, and budget funds are to be released only after approval, the report says.
- The launch, originally planned for the first quarter of 2027, is delayed, according to the report.
The federal government will have to explain why, in its view, a European solution was not possible and how it can ensure that the integrity and sovereignty of intelligence data remain beyond any doubt in the future.— Konstantin von Notz, deputy chair of the Parliamentary Oversight Panel, speaking to heise online about the reported decision to use Google.
