The White House has launched Gold Eagle, an artificial intelligence-powered clearing house which is designed to identify and patch cybersecurity vulnerabilities across critical US infrastructure at unprecedented speed and scale.
The initiative brings federal agencies, open-source software partners and private infrastructure companies into a coordinated system. It will receive, assess and
prioritise cyber vulnerabilities before passing actionable information to government and industry defenders.
The White House said Gold Eagle would use existing federal authorities and resources. The Treasury Department, Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Department of War have worked with industry partners to develop the programme.
