en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is rapidly advancing the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order on artificial intelligence security. CISA Acting Director Nick Andersen stated at AFCEA's TechNet Cyber conference, "By the end of this week, we will roll out specific AI platform access for our federal government-wide partners."

At the core of Trump's new executive order is a framework requiring the government to gain early access to cutting-edge AI models to test their security risks. The order also directs CISA to issue guidance to other agencies, helping them leverage AI for network protection. Andersen indicated that CISA will soon issue binding operational directives to federal agencies to implement requirements related to vulnerability management and other aspects of the executive order.

The executive order requires CISA to collaborate with the Office of Management and Budget, the National Security Advisor, and the National Cyber Director to issue guidance aimed at "accelerating and prioritizing the cyber defense of civilian federal government information systems to protect national critical functions," "establishing or expanding federal programs and cybersecurity services to enhance AI-driven defense tools," and "promoting access to cybersecurity tools and services, including, where appropriate, covering frontier models for agencies, state and local authorities, and critical infrastructure operators."

This executive order represents a major test for CISA. Due to the Trump administration's cuts and mission reorientation of CISA, the agency has faced reduced staffing and reputational damage, with over a thousand employees leaving, including many core experts in AI security. However, Andersen insisted that CISA is ready to take a leading role in executing the White House's AI security agenda. Speaking at the TechNet Cyber conference, he said, "You just need to press Ctrl+F and search for our name, and you'll see we are everywhere in that executive order." He added that the government's responsibilities in AI security can be divided into multiple "domains," including collaborating with AI developers to secure models, leveraging AI for cyber defense, and helping businesses and state governments address AI governance issues. "CISA will play a role in every broad domain," Andersen stated, noting that the agency will assist the Treasury Department in establishing the vulnerability management information clearinghouse required by the executive order.
