Commission presents EU Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence
The European Commission published a coordinated action plan addressing AI's dual role in cybersecurity: AI tools can detect vulnerabilities and strengthen critical infrastructure, but malicious actors can exploit AI to automate attacks at scale. The Plan includes capacity-building (secure testing platforms, evaluation frameworks, ENISA-led guidance), coordination with Member States and industry, and reinforcement of existing NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act obligations. For organisations deploying AI systems with cybersecurity implications or handling critical infrastructure, the signal is that the Commission is now treating AI-driven cyber risk as a policy priority alongside the Act's transparency and high-risk regimes — expect Member State implementations of these principles to flow through national competent authorities over the next 12 months.
