Title: European Cybersecurity Firm ISGroup Shows What AI-Powered Attackers Can Find - and Why Europe Must Build This Capability at Home

Italy, 31st Jul 2026 -  As Europe pushes for strategic autonomy in critical technologies, a European cybersecurity firm has just demonstrated what that autonomy looks like in practice. ISGroup, an offensive-security company based in Italy and serving organisations across Europe, has published "What Can an Attacker Find With an LLM?" - one of the most extensive public studies to date on using frontier AI models to identify software vulnerabilities, conducted entirely with European expertise and rigorous, transparent methodology.The message to European boardrooms and institutions is direct: attackers are already exploring AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. Europe cannot afford to depend exclusively on overseas providers to understand - and defend against - this shift. Sovereignty in cybersecurity means having this capability within Europe, accountable to European organisations and aligned with European regulatory frameworks.To prove the point, ISGroup chose a demanding target: GlobaLeaks, the open-source whistleblowing platform used by newsrooms, companies, and public administrations across Europe and beyond to protect sources - software refined over more than a decade and already reviewed through multiple independent security audits. Using frontier models, ISGroup processed approximately 1.24 billion tokens across 12,000 model requests, generating 110 candidate findings. Every candidate was manually triaged by ISGroup's researchers, with reproduction, impact assessment, and final classification remaining firmly in expert human hands.The result: 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations, all responsibly disclosed and the most critical already fixed - a concrete contribution to the resilience of software that protects w...
