Cybersecurity Superintelligence: Bringing Together Strategic Voices on AI, Cybersecurity and Sovereignty

Representatives from defense, critical infrastructure, industry and public institutions gathered at Alias Robotics headquarters in Vitoria-Gasteiz to discuss the future of cybersecurity AI, technological sovereignty and Europe's strategic capabilities.

For Alias Robotics, the event represented more than a discussion. It marked the first time the company brought together leaders from defense, critical infrastructure, industry and public institutions under one roof to openly discuss the future of cybersecurity AI and European technological sovereignty.

While the event featured strategic perspectives from Cyber Ranges, contributions from the Mando Conjunto del Ciberespacio (MCCE) and a roundtable bringing together experts from the Guardia Civil, Iberdrola, KPMG, Cipher and GMV, some of the most valuable conversations happened beyond the formal agenda.

Throughout the afternoon, participants explored ongoing demonstrations from the Alias Robotics research team and exchanged perspectives on the future of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and technological sovereignty.

Several themes emerged repeatedly. Three of them stood above the rest.

1. AI for cybersecurity is becoming a strategic asset

As Alias Robotics CEO Endika Gil-Uriarte highlighted during the event, cybersecurity AI should no longer be viewed as just another technology investment.

It is rapidly becoming a strategic capability for both organizations and nation-states.

The speed at which AI is transforming cyber operations means that decisions made today will directly influence future resilience, competitiveness and security.

The conclusion was clear: investment cannot wait. Organizations and governments must begin building and protecting these capabilities now.

2. Control matters: sovereignty starts with data and infrastructure

One of the strongest themes of the discussion was the growing importance of control.

As Alias Robotics CTO Unai Ayúcar emphasized, the future of cybersecurity AI is not only about performance. It is about understanding who develops the technology, where it runs and who ultimately controls the data.

For critical infrastructures, essential services, defense environments and highly regulated sectors, these questions are increasingly strategic rather than purely technical.

Many organizations may share different priorities, but they face a common challenge: ensuring that the capabilities protecting their operations remain aligned with their security, regulatory and sovereignty requirements.

3. Europe needs real capabilities, not just conversations

The event also provided an opportunity to showcase practical demonstrations from the Alias Robotics research team, including recent work such as Pentesting Álava.

As Founder and CSO Víctor Mayoral pointed out, discussions about sovereignty and strategic autonomy only matter if they are backed by real technical capabilities.

Pentesting Álava is one example of that approach. By analyzing the public attack surface of more than a thousand organizations across the territory, the initiative demonstrates how AI can be used to generate cybersecurity intelligence at scale and identify risks that would otherwise remain hidden. The exercise is not intended to create headlines. It is intended to demonstrate what European cybersecurity AI can actually do when applied to real-world problems.

Looking Ahead

Beyond the discussions themselves, the event demonstrated the importance of creating spaces where industry, defense, public institutions and technology innovators can exchange perspectives openly.

For Alias Robotics, bringing together representatives from these communities under one roof in Vitoria-Gasteiz was an important milestone. It also reinforced a growing conviction: Europe's cybersecurity future will depend not only on technological innovation, but on the ability to connect those building, operating and protecting critical systems around shared strategic challenges.

Judging by the discussions, demonstrations and networking sessions that continued long after the formal agenda ended, the need for these conversations has never been greater.
