Arne Schönbohm (born 28 July 1969) is the former president of the German Federal Office for Information Security.[1][2]
Biography
editSchönbohm was born in Hamburg.[3] He studied international business administration at the International School of Management in Dortmund, as well as in London and Taipei.[4]
From 1995 until 2008 Schönbohm worked at EADS Germany in several senior positions, including as Vice President Commercial and Defense Solutions for EADS Secure Networks.[4]
In 2008, he set up his own consulting business.
He was the chair of Cyber Security Council of Germany e.V., an association that later came under criticism for ties to Russian secret services.[5]
Appointed by Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maizière (CDU), Schönbohm became president of the German Federal Office for Information Security in 2016.[6] In October 2022, under a new government, following a report by "satirical" ZDF Magazin Royale on ZDF television, alleged connections to Russian secret services came under scrutiny again.[7][8] In what is called "de:BSI-Affäre" he was released from his post shortly afterwards by the new Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD)[9] and later appointed to an equivalent post, as president of a federal academy.
