Digital revolution: This is how Aon is securing the future of our data centers!

At a time when the world's digital infrastructure is rapidly expanding, Aon presents a novel data center insurance program. The increasing investments are inspired, among other things, by developments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing as well as continued high demand for computing capacity. This emerges from a recent statement from Aon, which underlines the need for integrated solutions in the insurance landscape.

The DCLP solution launched by Aon aims to address the challenges customers face due to increasingly complex risk profiles. Particular attention is paid to risks arising from construction, freight, cyber incidents and operations. This new integrated solution promises to provide businesses with comprehensive security and support.

European investments in digital technologies

This decision takes place within the framework of the Digital Europe (DIGITAL) work program for the period 2025-2027. The DIGITAL program has broad priorities, including strengthening the cyber resilience of critical infrastructure, including data centers and hospitals. In the future, digital innovation centers (EDIH) in the EU will be supported in order to promote the digital progress of companies.

Focus on cyber resilience and digital skills

A central goal of the DIGITAL program is to further develop digital skills in EU educational institutions and to facilitate a European digital identity. The Commission also plans to improve digital public services in the sector and promote innovative approaches such as the Destination Earth initiative for climate and crisis management.

With a total budget of €8.1 billion for the period 2021-2027, the DIGITAL program positions itself as the first EU funding program focused exclusively on digital technologies. These funds are complemented by investments from other EU programs such as Horizon Europe and InvestEU. The first DIGITAL calls are planned for April 2025, followed by others this year.

Overall, these developments show that both the private and public spheres are increasingly responding to the need for secure digital infrastructure and protection against risks in order to ensure a secure and sustainable digital landscape. This will also set the course for the digital transformation of Europe in the coming years.
