BSA welcomes the European Commission’s ambition to strengthen Europe’s cloud and AI ecosystem, investment, and infrastructure through the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA).

BSA recommends that governments prioritize deploying AI for cybersecurity, giving cybersecurity professionals priority access to frontier AI cybersecurity systems, improving vulnerability management, modernizing legacy systems, and building resilience into systems. BSA also recommends aligning regulations to strengthen cybersecurity, upgrading to post-quantum cryptography, and measuring cybersecurity outcomes.

Governments have a sovereign interest in ensuring capable, resilient, and secure digital environments at home. BSA urges policymakers that are pursuing digital sovereignty to focus on supply-chain resilience through frameworks grounded in collaboration, innovation, openness, and choice—not exclusion and self-isolation.
