Cyprus businesses urged to elevate cybersecurity to boardroom priority amid rising AI-driven threats and EU regulations
Cyprus businesses are being urged to treat cybersecurity as a boardroom responsibility rather than solely an IT issue, as AI-driven cyberattacks and new EU regulations increase pressure on senior management. At the 6th Cyber Security Conference in Nicosia, experts emphasized that having security policies and software is no longer sufficient. Organisations must be able to detect attacks quickly, make swift decisions, and maintain operations under cyber pressure.
EU legislation such as the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) place accountability for cyber risk management on boards and require training for leadership. Cybersecurity assessments in Cyprus reveal significant gaps in governance, risk management, and technical controls, with attacks targeting key sectors like energy, healthcare, and telecommunications.
The conference highlighted challenges from rapidly evolving AI threats that accelerate attack cycles and automate malicious activities. Industry leaders stressed the need for greater investment in people and technology, enhanced cyber resilience measures, and continuous testing of security controls to address vulnerabilities in an interconnected digital landscape.
