CIS and OpenAI launch AI cyber defense pilot to strengthen security across critical infrastructure, SLTT governments

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) and OpenAI announced a pilot program to help U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial governments and critical infrastructure operators use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve cybersecurity and resilience. The pilot will evaluate how AI can help organizations detect risks faster, prioritize security actions, strengthen cyber hygiene, and improve overall readiness, drawing on expertise from the MS-ISAC community. The initiative aims to produce implementation guidance and scalable approaches that can extend AI-powered defense capabilities across the public sector.

Why it matters: State, local, tribal, and territorial government defenders and critical infrastructure operators with limited resources need to understand how AI can augment their security programs; this pilot provides early access to capabilities and lessons learned to address the resource gap.
