On July 7, 2026, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) published recommendations addressing cybersecurity challenges in the frontier artificial intelligence era. The publication provides national competent authorities in Member States, EU policymakers, defenders, and service providers with an initial set of recommendations to support their respective roles in developing operational capabilities to address machine-speed threats. The recommendations are designed to assist stakeholders in preparing for and responding to cybersecurity risks emerging from advanced artificial intelligence systems. ENISA emphasises that the recommendations are not an exhaustive checklist but rather an initial framework to guide organisations and authorities in strengthening their defences against AI-driven threats. The agency recognises that frontier AI systems present novel cybersecurity challenges that require coordinated action across multiple stakeholder groups, including government bodies, private sector organisations, and security service providers. ENISA intends to further refine and expand these recommendations through close cooperation with Member States and EU information and communication technology security bodies (EUIBCs). The agency will align its work with the upcoming European Commission Action Plan on artificial intelligence, ensuring consistency with broader EU policy objectives on AI governance and cybersecurity. This collaborative approach reflects ENISA's commitment to developing comprehensive, evidence-based guidance that reflects evolving threats and emerging best practices in securing frontier AI systems. The publication is available to national and EU authorities as well as private sector organisations seeking to enhance their cybersecurity posture in response to advanced artificial intelligence developments.
