Last week, the CISA announced it’s putting together a comprehensive framework to unify government, industry and global partners in their response to significant security incidents involving AI just after conducting the first-ever AI security incident tabletop exercise.
The four-hour event held at Microsoft’s Virginia offices brought together over 50 AI experts and was intended to support the development of the AI Security Incident Collaboration playbook that is expected to be released later this year.
Participants in the event included the FBI, the NSA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Defense and Justice departments as well as AI and software developers including, but not limited to:
- OpenAI
- Microsoft
- IBM
- Cisco
- Amazon Web Services
The Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, CISA’s flagship public-private partnership, organized the exercise and is developing the playbook through a planning effort called JCDC.AI. The collaborative is planning a second exercise later this year on AI integration in U.S. critical infrastructure.
FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran said the exercise showed that both sectors are better prepared to handle cyberthreats when there is adequate coordination.
“We are stronger when we come together to share information and determine best practices in the evolving AI landscape.”
Dave Ratner, CEO, HYAS had this comment:
“Determining and aligning on best practices in the evolving AI landscape is a great endeavor and a needed exercise. However, the criminals are clearly not participating and march to their own drum, which is why we need to stay vigilant with the development of cyber resiliency approaches against the ever-increasingly complex and AI-driven attacks.”
Exercises like this one are a good thing in my mind as it helps to flush out weaknesses for improvement and strengthens the things that organizations do well. Others should look at this and copy it as this is a good model to work from.
