Poland is intensifying cooperation with global technology leaders to strengthen its defence capabilities. The latest step in this direction is the signing of an agreement between the Cyber Defence Forces Component Command (DKWOC) and Oracle on 1 April 2025. The aim of this collaboration is to develop in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud infrastructure and cryptography, which is critical to national security.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, stressed the importance of this initiative: “This is an important moment. Another agreement on cooperation with a leading company in the field of cutting-edge technology development and cloud infrastructure, concerning the development of artificial intelligence, which is extremely important for our army, for our security, for our country, has been signed.”
The agreement provides for three key areas of cooperation.
- Information sharing: Responding quickly to cyber threats by sharing knowledge and experiences on an ongoing basis.
- Cloud infrastructure security: Protecting sensitive government data, including armed forces information, with a focus on advanced cryptographic solutions.
- The development of artificial intelligence: Implementation of AI in battlefield management, soldier training and military logistics.
Maj Gen Karol Molenda, commander of the DKWOC, pointed out that Poland is one of the most attacked countries in cyberspace, which makes this cooperation particularly important.
This agreement is part of the broader context of Poland’s efforts to strengthen cyber security. In February 2025, Microsoft announced a PLN 2.8 billion investment in the development of cloud and AI infrastructure in Poland, which also included cooperation with the Ministry of National Defence on cyber security.
Additionally, in March 2025, the Polish Ministry of Defence announced the creation of an Artificial Intelligence Implementation Centre within the Cyber Defence Forces, highlighting the growing role of AI in the country’s defence strategy.
Poland has consistently sought to strengthen its position in cyber security through strategic partnerships with global technology leaders. The cooperation with Oracle, like previous initiatives with Microsoft, demonstrates the country’s determination to build modern defence capabilities based on the latest technologies. At the same time, it raises questions about digital sovereignty and dependence on foreign technology providers. It will therefore be crucial to strike a balance between benefiting from global innovations and developing indigenous competence in the area of cyber security.
