Dear readers,

As Europe accelerates its digital and AI ambitions, cybersecurity stands as both the enabler and threat! Artificial intelligence is transforming the digital landscape exponentially! It is redefining how we create, communicate, and secure information — while simultaneously expanding our vulnerability. As algorithms grow more capable, so do the threats that exploit them. Cybersecurity in the AI era is no longer a question of defence alone, but of foresight, adaptability, and trust. This new frontier calls for coordinated action: bringing technology enthusiasts, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders around a shared vision of technological sovereignty and trust. In the AI era, security cannot be an afterthought; it must be the cornerstone of innovation and digital governance.

The Kennedy’s perspective leads to a thought-provoking reflection on the time when innovation and risk evolve hand in hand. Drawing inspiration from the classic “ambulance in the valley,” the article challenges us to rethink whether we are investing enough in prevention rather than repairing the consequences. In his article he includes Scott Adams Six Filters of Truth that help us to reflect i.e., what’s true and what’s false; read the article and share your thoughts!

The invited article on the Cybersecurity in the AI era presents the dual role of AI through a three-dimensional framework: cybersecurity for AI, AI for cybersecurity, and AI against cybersecurity. It highlights key technical challenges and calls for a proactive, interdisciplinary approach to embed secure AI practices across the lifecycle, thereby positioning cybersecurity as a strategic enabler.

Gain insights into the evolving Digital Partnership on Cybersecurity in the Indo-Pacific region through the article “INPACE – Emerging Cybersecurity Architecture of Digital Partnership Countries.” The piece highlights how India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are shaping comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks to safeguard critical information infrastructure, strengthen public–private collaboration, and advance cyber resilience. Together, these nations are building a robust digital foundation — one that blends policy, regulation, and innovation to address the complex challenges of the connected world.

The foundations of cybersecurity must evolve with Artificial Intelligence reshaping the digital world. At the core lies the secure boot process — the mechanism that ensures only trusted software runs on a device, protecting systems from tampering and unauthorized access. Eurescom led EU-funded FORTRESS project is developing a hybrid secure boot architecture that combines classical and post-quantum cryptography. By reinforcing digital trust at the root, FORTRESS contributes to a new generation of AI-ready cybersecurity, where resilience begins not in reaction to threats, but in the very design of secure, intelligent systems.

As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, the European Union is advancing on framework to ensure that trust, resilience, and security remain at the core of its digital transformation. The article “EU Cybersecurity Framework” presents how the EU is building a unified defence through initiatives such as the EU Cybersecurity Act, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and the NIS 2 Directive — supported by key institutions. These efforts form the backbone of Europe’s mission to safeguard its digital future and empower citizens, businesses, and public institutions to thrive securely in the digital age.

In the article “A bit beyond” the author explores whether AI is quietly undermining its own future in the Internet era. As generative AI increasingly trains on AI-created content, researcher warns of “model collapse,” where systems lose diversity, accuracy, and coherence. With synthetic data now saturating the web and ad-based revenue models under strain, both AI reliability and the digital economy face growing uncertainty. The article calls for authentic, human-generated content and transparent data practices to sustain trust, creativity, and truth in the AI-driven Internet.
