Digital violence never pauses. It travels in your pocket around the clock — through surveillance, financial control, image-based abuse, threats and online harassment. Add to that a new wave of AI-driven threats: deepfakes used to humiliate and silence, chatbots that groom children and young people, and disinformation targeting individuals.

Connected energy units, smart grids and digital control systems create efficiency but also new areas of vulnerability. A cyberattack on the electricity grid can lead to power outages, financial losses and weakened confidence in the energy system.

AI makes systems smarter, faster, and more automated. At the same time, it opens new attack surfaces that traditional IT defenses do not address. It demands resilience by design, lifecycle security, and collaboration across sectors. The core message is simple. Secure AI as a target, and secure against AI as a tool for offense.

Detect vulnerabilities and bugs in microservices before they impact performance, security, or your organization’s reputation. MicroSecAI is a concrete and fundamental step towards this direction to produce resilient microservices based applications.

On 15 January 2026, the Cybersecurity Act will come into force in accordance with the EU's NIS2 Directive. The new law replaces the current NIS law with stricter requirements, more affected sectors and tougher sanctions. The aim is to strengthen the EU's resilience to cyber attacks in socially important and critical activities.

Robots coupled with AI constitute complex and adaptable systems that hold great potential for society and industry. But how do we ensure that these systems are safe, secure and trustworthy? In this blog we will have a closer look at these issues.

We all depend on digital services to work and be secure, from the smartwatch on our wrist to advanced control systems in industry. Today, cybersecurity is a basic prerequisite for everyday life, as essential as electricity or running water.

Computer systems, especially those used in safety-critical domains, should be designed, built and assessed not only from the functional point of view, but also with respect to their dependability properties such as safety and security.
