GAO outlines 2027-2032 agenda for congressional oversight of federal cyber defenses, critical infrastructure, AI risks
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a five-year strategic plan for 2027-2032 that prioritizes congressional oversight of federal cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and artificial intelligence (AI) risks. The plan identifies aging energy and water system infrastructure, evolving cyber threats, and emerging AI-related risks including adversarial use and autonomous systems as key challenges requiring federal attention. GAO intends to expand its use of data analytics and AI to enhance oversight capabilities while assessing federal efforts to secure government systems, protect critical infrastructure, and evaluate AI policy effectiveness.
Why it matters: Security practitioners should track GAO's oversight focus on federal cybersecurity strategies and critical infrastructure protection, as findings will inform congressional policy and resource allocation affecting federal defense priorities and vendor compliance expectations.
