CISA’s Cybersecurity Division uses machine learning and natural language processing models to collect and sort vulnerability data before it is presented to human analysts. CISA’s experts can then more efficiently assess cyber risks that are shared in publications like the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog" target="_blank">Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog</a> and the <a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search" target="_blank">National Vulnerability Database</a>. The Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) supports CISA in this effort through S&T’s Cyber Analytics and Platform Capabilities project.</p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/ai" target="_blank" dir="ltr">CISA's roadmap</a> for artificial intelligence. </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--section paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--17884 usa-accordion usa-section-accordion" id='accordion-17884'> <h2 class="usa-accordion__heading"> <button id="btn-acc17884" aria-controls="acc17884" aria-expanded="false" class="usa-accordion__button">Leading AI Research, Development, and Deployment</button> </h2> <div class="usa-accordion__content usa-prose" id="acc17884"> <div class="grid-col-fill"> <div class="field field--name-field-content field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-field paragraph--view-mode--default mobile-edge-padding"> <div class="grid-col-fill"> <div class="field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden mobile-edge-padding field__item"><p>The Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) uses AI to help the people on the front lines of our homeland security mission, like first responders, to reduce risk and make data-driven decisions.

Nation-states seeking to undermine trust in our government institutions, social cohesion, and democratic processes are using AI to create more believable mis-, dis-, and mal-information campaigns, while cyber actors use AI to develop new tools and accesses that allow them to compromise more victims and enable larger-scale, faster, efficient, and more evasive cyber attacks."</em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p>-Homeland Threat Assessment 2024</p></blockquote><p>Read the full <a href="/publication/homeland-threat-assessment">2024 Homeland Threat Assessment</a>.</p><h3>Researching Into the Future</h3><p>DHS is conducting ongoing research to identify new ways AI can advance its homeland security mission and assess how adversaries may use AI against us.</p><h3>Partnering Across Sectors</h3><p>DHS is fostering a leading AI community by developing strong relationships with AI experts and organizations across public and private industry. These relationships help the Department proactively address the evolving threats and vulnerabilities presented by the malicious use of AI.</p><h3>Anticipating Emerging Risks</h3><p>To keep track of new risks from AI and related technologies, DHS is creating an AI risk register. In addition to creating a clear and organized view of known AI risks to add to the National Cyber Threat Landscape, the register will help DHS prioritize and mitigate AI risks and identify strategies for combatting AI threat actors.</p><h3>Deploying Defensive AI</h3><p>To defend against the malicious use of AI, DHS is deploying defensive AI:</p><ul><li>Malware Reverse Engineering uses machine learning techniques to disrupt adversaries' malware development lifecycle. </li><li>Cyber Vulnerability Reporting uses automation, machine learning, and natural language processing to dramatically increase the accuracy and relevancy of vulnerability data.

For this reason, DHS has issued its policy on Use of Commercial Generative AI Tools. The policy requires DHS personnel to complete training on GenAI that shows them how to protect privacy and identify potential civil rights, civil liberties, ethical, and intellectual property issues. The policy also requires DHS personnel to follow rules of behavior when using Commercial GenAI tools. </p><p>DHS’s GenAI policy is only the first step in the Department’s harnessing the potential of Generative AI. The DHS Artificial Intelligence Task Force is exploring how the Department could build its own GenAI tools. These tools would be tailored to DHS’s specific operational needs, meet the highest security and privacy standards, and help our dedicated workforce stay mission focused. </p><p>Read more about the
