AI Cybersecurity Operations Working Group

As threat intelligence, security operations, and artificial intelligence converge, the AI Cybersecurity Operations Working Group unites government, industry, and academia to move from AI experimentation to real-world operational defense.

We will focus on modernizing security operations through automated threat detection, multi-agent architectures, adversary emulation, and AI governance. By pairing machine-speed capabilities with essential human oversight, members will collaborate on practical playbooks, reference architectures, and hands-on exercises to transform next-generation SOCs.

Following our August kickoff event, the group will be meeting regularly. Meeting details will be shared soon. Stay tuned!
