Over the years, the CCB community has built an understanding of how to benchmark national cybersecurity capacity and address unique national needs. However, without careful focus on how AI shapes these needs, there is a growing risk that nations will face critical gaps in technological capabilities, and legal, regulatory and policy frameworks.

Countries need to prepare for this, but the CCB community will also need to adapt its programs to ensure that they effectively mitigate the contemporary risks that nations are facing.

• What actions are needed by the CCB community to ensure that interventions at national and regional levels are effective in addressing emerging AI-cybersecurity risks?

• Can a tool such as an AI Cybersecurity Readiness Metric for Nations add value to national efforts aimed at strengthening capabilities to withstand AI-related cybersecurity risks?
