With an investment of 10.5 million euros, six projects are starting aimed at increasing Dutch digital resilience. These studies, resulting from the Knowledge and Innovation Covenant (KIC), focus on knowledge development and innovations to counter cybercrime and harmful actions by foreign actors. Researchers collaborate with public and private parties, with private investors contributing 1.5 million and NWO financing almost 9 million. In practice, the projects strengthen the availability, integrity and confidentiality of digital systems, essential for a safe and autonomous digital Netherlands.
