This speech addresses the significance of preserving truth in a military setting and its impact on defense and cybersecurity . It touches upon some groundbreaking projects that contribute to this goal and bolster the EU ' s military digital resilience .

Another , project aims to create a comprehensive framework for the continuous security assessment and certification of IoT hardware and software , in compliance with the EU Cybersecurity Act . Lastly , a different project focuses on developing advanced AI-based tools for detecting and responding to adversarial behavior , automating response actions , and evaluating their impact .

As the world becomes more polarized , the EU and its militaries , must ensure the flow of truthful information which is necessary for the functioning of a true democratic polity .
