Over PLN 2.3 billion to strengthen cyber security
31.12.2025
In the European Funds for Digital Development (EFDD) programme, we are introducing a new priority "Strengthening of cyber security and development of resilient data processing infrastructure” to better protect Poland on the Internet. By doing so, we will strengthen the defence system against cyber attacks and increase the level of protection of Polish residents' data. We want to ensure that the digital services essential for administration, public safety and defence operate smoothly in crisis situations.
We have reallocated 28 per cent of the EFDD programme budget, i.e. more than PLN 2.3 billion, to the new task. We will use the money to increase the level of cyber security.
Computer data and ICT infrastructure will be better protected.
New systems and critical infrastructure will ensure business continuity and the integrity of information processing in crisis situations - for example, during hacking attacks, power failures, violent storms or equipment supply problems.
On 23 December 2025, the Council of Ministers adopted a resolution amending the European Funds for Digital Development 2021-2027 programme. The draft EFDD amendments have been forwarded to the European Commission. The new version of the programme will be effective following the EC approval.
