In Berlin, the chief executive of ESET — the world's oldest cybersecurity firm — offered a sobering assessment of a technological imbalance as old as conflict itself: that it is always easier to break than to build, to attack than to defend. Artificial intelligence, he warned, has deepened this asymmetry to a degree that demands not merely new tools, but an entirely new philosophy of protection. His answer is not to borrow power from the dominant platforms, but to cultivate something sovereign — European, specialized, and independent — before dependence itself becomes the vulnerability.

Shift toward European technological sovereignty and reduced reliance on US Big Tech platforms for critical infrastructure security. ESET's push for independent European AI models reflects broader EU strategic autonomy agenda. Asymmetric advantage currently favors malicious actors, potentially increasing geopolitical vulnerability for nations lacking advanced AI-based defenses.
Similar to Cold War technological competition and nuclear deterrence asymmetries—defensive capabilities struggling to match offensive innovation, creating strategic instability until parity achieved.

Increased cybersecurity risks for households and businesses; potential rise in data breaches, identity theft, and financial fraud. Consumers may face higher costs for advanced security solutions and insurance premiums.
European regulators likely to mandate stricter cybersecurity standards, accelerate development of sovereign AI capabilities, increase R&D funding for independent European AI models, and potentially impose regulations on Big Tech platform dependencies in critical sectors.
