The White House has launched Gold Eagle, an AI-powered cybersecurity initiative to rapidly detect, prioritise and help fix vulnerabilities across critical US infrastructure. Developed with federal agencies and private partners, the programme aims to strengthen cyber defences, speed up responses to threats, reduce duplicate scanning efforts and enhance the resilience of key sectors.

Washington: 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.

The initiative aims to accelerate the detection of exploits and coordinate rapid responses across critical infrastructure sectors. It also seeks to reduce duplicative vulnerability-scanning efforts.
