Scope

The topic advances the use of artificial intelligence, including generative AI, in cybersecurity, while making sure that AI-based solutions are resilient, transparent and compliant with the AI Act. It covers automated threat detection, adaptive cyber defence and AI-driven threat intelligence, and addresses the risks of adversarial manipulation of AI systems.

What projects should develop

• AI tools for real-time detection of anomalies, malicious activity and AI-powered cyber threats, using new machine learning techniques.
• Adaptive AI systems that keep learning from new threats while remaining robust and explainable.
• AI-enhanced frameworks for security operations centres and cyber hubs that combine predictive analytics, automation and threat intelligence.

Expected outcomes

• AI-driven solutions for real-time cyber threat detection.
• Adaptive AI systems that evolve with changing cybersecurity challenges.
• A drastic reduction in the time needed to recover systems.

Further expectations

• Proposals are expected to contribute to one or more of the listed outcomes.
