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

If the US has its 9/11, the UK its 7/7, and Israel its 10/7, France has its 11/13. That was just over 10 years ago, at the height of the power, success, and influence of the Islamic State group. On that day, France was winded by a series of coordinated bombings and suicide attacks that claimed the lives of 130 people, with many more injured. All of the assailants died in the attack, except for one who chose not to blow himself up in the last minute. That was Salah Abdeslam. He was later caught, charged, and convicted. He is currently serving a life sentence. is friend, a female French convert to Islam His friend, a French convert to Islam, HHisOne of his friends, a female convert to Islam, is currently under investigation for plotting to launch terrorist acts of her own along with other co-conspirators. Since that fateful day, France has experienced several lesser terrorist attacks and thwarted many more, partly through the greatly improved IT know-how of intelligence agencies who have been quick and decisive in nipping any terrorist projects in the bud.

... but banks remain the most influential source of financial advice

• New FCA regulations present fresh opportunity for High Street banks to offer free investment advice – will 2026 see a change in saving habits?

New research shows that 55% of UK adults have turned to AI platforms at least sometimes over the past 12 months, investing on average £2,350 on the back of that advice.

However, AI platforms remain significantly less influential than banks' own websites, used by 81% of those surveyed, and MoneySavingExpert, used by 75%.

New regulations from the FCA, announced on 11th December, will allow banks to offer advice to customers on pensions and investment from April 2026. This will enable high street banks to better position themselves against digital-first alternatives like influencers and AI LLMs.
