What does a typical day look like for someone working at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity?
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) works to strengthen Europe’s ability to prevent and respond to cyber threats.
Dr Alexandros Zacharis, who leads ENISA’s AI team, works with the latest AI models to explore their capabilities, identify potential vulnerabilities and help defenders prepare for emerging risks.
Incidents this summer where the AI went “rogue” showed how much AI models have evolved, including their ability to act more independently and, in some cases, find ways around their safeguards.
When people imagine someone working on cybersecurity in an AI lab, they often picture a person sitting in front of multiple screens, tracking cyberattacks in real time.
