Welcome to Today’s Edition of CYBERInsights – My Daily Roundup of the Latest European SME Cybersecurity News Including: 1). EU Ratifies AI Act 2). Email Security & 3). Tech aiding OCcGs

1). EU Adopts groundbreaking legal framework on #AI The EU Parliament has approved the Artificial Intelligence Act – the first-ever legal framework on AI; Ensuring safety & compliance with fundamental rights, while boosting innovation. The regulation had already been agreed with all member states back in December 2023 but was formally ratified by MEPs last week.

The AI Act aims to provide developers with clear requirements & obligations regarding specific uses of AI at the same time seeking to reduce admin & costs for business, in particular SMEs

2). EMAIL SECURITY: Is Your SMEs Email Security Up-to-Snuff? According to a recent UK government report, 32% of SMEs experienced a breach or Cyber attack in the last 12 months, and one of the most common techniques criminals use is to send phishing emails – fake emails that impersonate your organisation.

The NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) have a free tool to check your email security and prevent cyber criminals using your email to conduct Cyber attacks.

3). GLOBAL FINANCIAL FRAUD: A New Assessment from Interpol highlights the increased use of Technology in Cybercrime. Enter stage left AI & LLMs coupled with Phishing and Ransomware-as-a-Service have enabled OcCGs to target their victims, whether individuals or Small businesses, with pinpoint accuracy.

The INTERPOL Global Financial Fraud Assessment points to the global expansion of human trafficking for the purpose of forced criminality in call centres, particularly to carry out ‘pig-butchering’ scams.
