At RSAC 2026 in San Francisco, US government officials from CISA, FBI, and NSA were notably absent — reportedly due to the conference's hiring of former CISA Director Jen Easterly. EU officials stepped in to fill the void, with UK NCSC CEO Dr. Richard Horne calling for security guardrails on vibe coding and AI-generated code. EU regulators from the European Commission discussed the upcoming Cybersecurity Resilience Act (effective December 2027), emphasizing supply chain security and AI risks. Europol's EC3 head invited private sector collaboration on offensive cyber operations. When asked about US reliability as a partner, EU officials largely deflected, with one reiterating that 'the American people will always be our friends.'
