DOE's AI-FORTS program builds AI cyber defences for the energy grid
The U.S. Department of Energy is developing AI tools to protect energy infrastructure from cyberattacks through its AI-FORTS program, run by its Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response, Industrial Cyber reports.
The program has three parts: defending against attackers who use large language models and other AI, applying AI to threat detection and incident response, and hardening the AI systems that run or defend energy networks. It works with national laboratories and utilities. AI-FORTS launched in 2024 and is planned as a long-term research effort.
