The European Commission has unveiled an Action Plan designed to strengthen Europe’s cybersecurity as advanced artificial intelligence models become both powerful defensive tools and potential weapons for cyber attackers.
The initiative brings together Member States, industry and EU organisations to build a coordinated approach that addresses the growing risks posed by AI while supporting wider adoption of AI-driven cybersecurity technologies.
For eeNews Europe readers, the plan highlights how future AI regulation will affect technology developers, semiconductor companies, infrastructure operators and cybersecurity suppliers across Europe. It also provides an early indication of where new investment, testing facilities and market opportunities are expected to emerge.
A central element of the Action Plan is the creation of stronger evaluation capabilities for advanced AI models before they reach the European market.
Under the AI Act, advanced AI systems must undergo assessments to identify cybersecurity risks and appropriate mitigation measures. To support this process, the Commission plans to launch a dedicated call to establish an EU evaluation capability focused on cybersecurity. The facility is expected to become operational in 2027 and will support the AI Office by providing independent assessments of AI capabilities and associated risks.
The Commission is also working with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity to develop a European blueprint for structured access to advanced AI models. The guidance aims to help both public and private organisations obtain access to leading AI systems for cybersecurity applications.
In addition, ENISA and the Commission’s Joint Research Centre will establish a secure testing platform where AI systems can be evaluated in simulated environments. The platform is intended to help operators in critical sectors including energy, finance, healthcare, transport and public administration deploy AI safely...
