Show ▼
Lithuania is advancing its cybersecurity capabilities through the 'Safe and Inclusive E-Society' mission, focusing on AI-driven fraud defense and digital resilience. The initiative, coordinated by Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and funded by the government, aims to protect citizens and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats, including AI-generated fraud. The mission involves collaboration between universities, cybersecurity firms, and industry associations to develop adaptive, self-learning security solutions. The project addresses the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in cybercrime, which enable highly personalized and realistic phishing attacks. Traditional detection methods are becoming ineffective against these advanced threats. Lithuania's efforts include developing AI-powered defense systems for FinTech, critical infrastructure, and public safety, as well as combating disinformation and enhancing cyber threat intelligence.
