The White House announced on Tuesday the launch of Gold Eagle, a new coordination mechanism intended to speed up the detection, prioritization, and patching of vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
The initiative pairs open source software maintainers with critical infrastructure operators in a shared reporting and remediation pipeline, built using existing federal authorities and resources.
Gold Eagle involves CISA, the Treasury Department, and the Department of War, working alongside private-sector partners.
The goals are to cut down on duplicate vulnerability scanning across agencies and companies, and to route prioritized and actionable remediation guidance to defenders in both government and industry.
The program stems from Executive Order 14409, ‘Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security’, which President Trump signed on June 2.
