Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity - an Open Forum
NIST-led discussions on securing AI systems may eventually shape standards Australian agencies reference, but this is an event announcement rather than a substantive output.
Key points
- NIST and Red Hat are co-hosting a US cybersecurity forum with an AI security theme in Washington D.C.
- Forum themes include cybersecurity for AI systems, outcome-oriented security frameworks, and supply chain threats.
- US-focused event with no direct Australian participation or output scheduled - limited immediate APS relevance.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies following NIST AI and cybersecurity guidance may want to monitor any published outputs or recordings from this forum for signals on emerging US standards thinking.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

NIST, the US Department of Commerce, and Red Hat are co-hosting the fifth annual Cybersecurity Open Forum in Washington D.C., available in-person and virtually. The 2026 event features three themes: cybersecurity for AI systems (covering autonomous systems, data analytics, and regulatory gaps), a shift from compliance-driven to outcomes-focused cybersecurity, and a retrospective on the forum's five-year history. While NIST guidance often informs Australian government cyber and AI risk frameworks, this item is an event announcement with no published outputs or findings available yet.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies following NIST AI and cybersecurity guidance may want to monitor any published outputs or recordings from this forum for signals on emerging US standards thinking.
