Amsterdam, Tuesday, 11 November 2025.
Onyx Cybersecurity leverages the CIF-NL subsidy to enhance digital safety across sectors like healthcare and finance, addressing new legal and investor demands amid rapid digital transitions.
Enhancing Cybersecurity Through Innovation
Onyx Cybersecurity, founded by Dirk Maij in the Netherlands, emphasizes the critical role of continuous innovation in cybersecurity. As the digital landscape rapidly evolves, the company aims to enhance digital safety across various sectors, including healthcare and finance. This is achieved through leveraging the CIF-NL subsidy, which provides financial support for developing advanced cybersecurity solutions [1].
Navigating Legal and Investor Pressures
In recent years, many organizations have transitioned to full digital operations, which introduces new pressures from both legal requirements and investor demands. Onyx Cybersecurity assists these organizations by ensuring their systems are secure and compliant with regulations, alleviating the stress associated with these transitions. The company’s holistic approach includes consultancy, training, and the development of proprietary cybersecurity products [1].
The CIF-NL Subsidy: A Catalyst for Growth
The CIF-NL subsidy, coordinated by the Dutch Cybersecurity Coordination Center (NCC-NL) and funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), supports cybersecurity innovation in the Netherlands. Onyx Cybersecurity utilized this subsidy to allocate time and resources towards the development of new cybersecurity products, such as the OPAL online security platform. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance digital resilience through innovation [2].
Empowering Organizations Through Training and Tools
Beyond technical solutions, Onyx Cybersecurity empowers organizations by providing tools and training to their employees. This approach not only enhances the immediate security posture of a company but also instills a deeper appreciation for cybersecurity among staff. By educating employees, Onyx helps organizations maintain a robust defense against cyber threats in the long term [1].
