EU Invests €1.3 Billion in AI, Cybersecurity, and Digital Skills: Why Now Is the Time to Embrace Secure Solutions Like RELIANOID
The European Commission has recently announced a massive €1.3 billion investment into critical digital areas including artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and digital skills. This strategic funding initiative demonstrates the EU’s strong commitment to building a more resilient, innovative, and digitally autonomous Europe. For businesses and public sector organizations alike, this is a clear signal that now is the time to adopt and invest in robust digital solutions that prioritize security and compliance—solutions like RELIANOID.
Understanding the EU’s €1.3 Billion Digital Push
This funding is part of the Digital Europe Programme, a flagship initiative aimed at accelerating Europe’s digital transformation. The investment will be channeled into four key areas:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Promoting development and adoption of trustworthy AI technologies.
- Cybersecurity: Strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty and resilience through secure infrastructure.
- Digital Skills: Addressing the skills gap and equipping citizens and professionals with advanced digital competencies.
- Advanced Digital Infrastructure: Building capabilities to support future-ready public services and industry innovation.
Within this framework, cybersecurity stands out as a foundational pillar. The EU recognizes that without strong security, digital advancement cannot be sustained. Hence, significant resources are being directed toward cybersecurity solutions, certifications, and standards.
Cybersecurity at the Core of Digital Transformation
The increasing complexity and scale of cyber threats demand that security becomes an embedded component of every digital system. From small businesses to large enterprises, the demand for secure, reliable infrastructure has never been higher.
RELIANOID, with its next-generation Application Delivery Controller (ADC) solutions, is uniquely positioned to respond to this need. Our platform provides built-in cybersecurity features such as mTLS authentication, SSL offloading, advanced reverse proxy capabilities, DDoS mitigation, and connection handling optimization. With the latest releases of RELIANOID, security performance has reached new heights, enabling businesses to protect their services without compromising on speed or scalability.
Aligning with Legislative Frameworks
In parallel with these investments, regulatory environments in both the EU and the UK are evolving to emphasize Product Cybersecurity. The recent publication titled “Product Cybersecurity: How to Comply with UK and EU Legislation” by the Industrial Cybersecurity Center, highlights the importance of integrating security into digital products by design and by default.
Among the key legislative initiatives are:
- EU Cyber Resilience Act
- UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act
- NIS2 Directive
These regulations will make it mandatory for software and hardware providers to incorporate strong cybersecurity measures, provide regular updates, and ensure compliance through transparent documentation. Companies failing to meet these standards may face financial penalties and reputational damage.
RELIANOID’s platform is fully aligned with these compliance needs. By choosing RELIANOID, companies proactively meet current and upcoming regulatory expectations while also improving system performance and service reliability.
