The Netherlands invests structurally too little in its digital security and resilience. The next cabinet should therefore invest an additional €690 million structurally in strengthening the digital resilience of our society. This is stated by the Cyber Security Council in a letter to the informateur of the new Dutch cabinet, identifying four policy priorities that make these additional investments essential:

  1. Strengthen the digital resilience of central government, vital infrastructure, and the business community
  2. Invest in digital autonomy
  3. Prepare the Netherlands for AI as a catalyst for threats
  4. Better protect citizens against cybercrime
