Summary

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity ENISA proposes a comprehensive framework called the FAICP (Framework for Artificial Intelligence Cybersecurity Practices) designed to harmonise rules across Europe. This initiative serves as the cornerstone response to the new EU Artificial Intelligence Act, ensuring that the transition from system development to deployment is secure. The proposed FAICP specifically addresses the critical phases of the AI lifecycle, from initial system concept through decommissioning, to cover all relevant elements of the AI supply chain and associated actors. By establishing clear harmonised guidelines, the framework aims to protect the infrastructure hosting artificial intelligence while ensuring continuous security practices and compliance across diverse supply chains.

The overarching objective of this framework is to create a standardised approach for safeguarding ICT systems, including those powered by AI, against cyber threats throughout the entire supply chain. Through these established practices, the organization seeks to protect the critical infrastructure required for AI deployment while ensuring that all actors involved in the process adhere to rigorous security protocols. Ultimately, the FAICP provides the necessary legal and technical structure to allow European businesses to safely integrate AI technologies without compromising the integrity of the underlying networks. By enforcing these regulations, ENISA ensures that the development, use, and maintenance of AI systems remain stable and secure within the European Union.
