The new EU action plan sets out how Europe intends to address the opportunities and risks posed by artificial intelligence in the field of cybersecurity.
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the cybersecurity landscape: it helps organisations identify vulnerabilities more quickly and fend off cyberattacks. At the same time, it opens up new opportunities for attackers to automate and scale their attacks.
This article contextualises the EU Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence and highlights its significance for governance, resilience and business practice. The focus is particularly on the secure use of AI, strengthening European cybersecurity, and the practical implementation of existing regulations such as NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act and DORA.
