London: The UK Government announced a major new Cyber Action Plan designed to strengthen the security and resilience of online public services, ensuring citizens can access essential services, such as benefits, tax services and healthcare. 

Backed by £210 million and driven by a new Government Cyber Unit, the plan sets out a coordinated approach to tackling rising cyber threats across government, so people can trust that their data and services are protected.

New research by  Kiteworks reveals that European organisations trail global benchmarks on the security controls needed to detect AI-specific threats, respond to AI-enabled breaches, and govern AI data flows. It also exposes a worrying and widening gap between Europe's regulatory leadership and its actual AI security posture.

The report identifies six predictions for European organisations in 2026:

1. AI-specific breach detection will lag other regions
2. AI incident response will remain incomplete
3. AI supply chain visibility will remain a blind spot
4. Third-party AI vendor incidents will catch organisations unprepared
5. AI governance evidence will remain manually generated
6. AI incident response will remain incomplete
