Leveraging a new opportunity available since April 1st, companies can now benefit from an especially attractive funding program for cyber‑security investments. Eligible projects are those that sustainably improve a company’s IT and cyber security.

Dies includes hardware and software as well as service hourssuch as consulting, implementation, or security assessments.

A key requirement is that the investment must be new and capitalizable . What makes this program particularly appealing is that ongoing license costs for IT security solutions are also eligible, a benefit rarely offered by other funding schemes.

With cyberattacks on the rise, investing in modern security measures has never been more important. This funding helps companies strengthen their IT infrastructure, reduce risks, and better meet regulatory requirements.

What is typically funded?

  • Firewalls, endpoint security, antivirus solutions
  • Backup and recovery systems
  • Multi‑factor authentication
  • Network and server security solutions
  • Security awareness training
  • Penetration tests and security assessments
  • Cloud security tools
  • License costs for IT security software
  • External consulting and implementation services

Funding amount and conditions

  • Project volume €2,000 to €50,000
  • Funding rate: up to 40%
  • Submission: possible at any time
  • Requirement: new, capitalizable investment

Small and medium‑sized enterprises benefit especially, as they often lack dedicated IT security teams and rely on external expertise.

We are happy to support you in identifying suitable measures and preparing a successful funding application. A short conversation is enough to uncover potential and plan the next steps.
