The European Commission has announced a substantial €145.5 million investment aimed at strengthening cybersecurity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as crucial public bodies like hospitals and healthcare providers. The funding is divided between two calls for proposals; the first will allocate €55 million focusing on healthcare cybersecurity to enhance ransomware detection and response, while the second, under the Horizon Europe Programme, will distribute €90.5 million for developing generative AI and advanced cybersecurity tools. These initiatives aim to bolster the resilience of European healthcare systems amid increasing cyber threats.
