The UK is likewise updating its national cybersecurity framework to align with the core purpose of NIS2.

The allure of artificial intelligence can be overwhelming. With headlines promising revolutionary transformation and vendors showcasing impressive capabilities, many organizations find themselves rushing to adopt the latest AI tools without a clear roadmap.
