EU Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence

On July 7th 2026, the European Commission presented an Action Plan for a structured response to address the risks and harness the opportunities of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models for cybersecurity.

New advanced AI models are redefining cybersecurity. AI can be misused to identify vulnerabilities, automate attacks and increase the scale and speed of cyber incidents at an unprecedented speed.

Building on the EU's unique legal framework for AI and cybersecurity, the Action Plan will bring together Member States, industry and EU-level organisations to strengthen the cybersecurity of our digital landscape against the vulnerabilities posed by advanced AI.
