And we must keep pace,&#8221; Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy Henna Virkkunen said as she presented the commission&#8217;s EU Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The action plan is a direct response to unprecedented cybersecurity capabilities of the latest AI models, that also change the &#8220;economics of malicious actors,&#8221; she explained. It follows suit with recent declaration from the G7 Cybersecurity Working Group to strengthen global digital resilience. It also builds on<strong> <\/strong>a call to action from the Five Eyes cybersecurity agencies: AI undeniably accelerates the sophistication of cyber threats at unpresented scale and speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The AI cyber action plan therefore reflects a growing reality for digital governance teams:<strong> <\/strong>AI-enabled cyber shock is already prompting them to<strong> <\/strong>use AI automation to triage and remediate against cyberthreats, to list cyberattacks and third-party vendors management among top digital risks, and to improve efficiencies between trust, governance and security across the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The IAPP&#8217;s Navigate: Digital Risk Index 2026 attests to the significance of risks related to nation-state or sponsored cyberattacks, espionage and warfare on one hand, and AI technologies as accelerating or compounding risks on the other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission is accelerating three priorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>First, AI models with high cyber capability deployed in Europe must be safe. AI Act enforcement will play a role to ensure providers establish appropriate safeguards against misuse including in the cyber domains. Brussels will also launch a call to step up evaluation capacity of AI models by 2027 and strengthen know-how to deploy advanced AI models for Europe&#8217;s own cybersecurity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Second, the Commission wants to identify and fix critical vulnerabilities faster. That means full implementation of the NIS2 Directive,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/a-view-from-brussels-eu-tackles-ai-and-cyber\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A view from Brussels: EU tackles AI and cyber https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/a-view-from-brussels-eu-tackles-ai-and-cyber Publish Date: 2026-07-09 12:10:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":287622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.contentstack.io\/v3\/assets\/bltd4dd5b2d705252bc\/blt24e712dd118671ff\/6a4fbd96de2b5434a1cffc48\/arc-cinquantaire-brussels-tulips-eu-041626.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-287621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287621"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":287623,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287621\/revisions\/287623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
