Cyber AI Profile Workshop
Location
National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), 9700 Great Seneca Hwy, Rockville, MD 20850
Format
- Morning—Hybrid (in-person and virtual)
- Afternoon—In-person only
Background/Description
Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology bring great opportunities as well as new or modified risks for organizations to manage, including impacts to their cybersecurity capabilities. These potential impacts of AI on cybersecurity need to be understood and managed. NIST is exploring how to best serve the cybersecurity community, building on and using its cybersecurity resources to assist organizations as they manage AI-related opportunities and risks. NIST’s early engagement with cybersecurity stakeholders has led to several initial observations:
- There is no consistent taxonomy or consensus on how AI advances inform organizations’ strategies for cybersecurity risk management.
- Cybersecurity leaders and professionals must strategically address emerging cybersecurity risks stemming from advancements in AI, even as they continue to manage ongoing operations.
- These professionals would benefit from informed guidance and additional resources to help them shape their strategies as well as organize and prioritize their actions.
- AI introduces new and modified challenges with potentially major impacts regarding cybersecurity – but AI advances do not necessarily require fundamental changes to the way organizations address cybersecurity. Existing cybersecurity standards, frameworks, guides, and practices can still be effective when used individually and together if they are applied or modified to specifically address AI-related challenges as well as AI’s helpful capabilities.
To address these cybersecurity concerns, NIST is proposing the creation of a NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Profile, partnering with the cybersecurity and AI communities. This workshop will explore the ideas discussed in the Cybersecurity and AI Workshop Concept Paper (please provide any feedback using the form found on our project page before 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, March 14, 2025, to inform workshop topics).
