NIST NCCoE Cyber AI Profile Virtual Working Session Series: Extending the Technical Content
NIST's Cyber AI Profile is shaping international norms for AI cybersecurity risk management—a space Australian agencies are actively navigating.
Key points
- NIST NCCoE is running a virtual working series to refine the Cybersecurity Framework Cyber AI Profile.
- Session 2 focuses on extending technical content, specifically Agentic AI and Zero Trust integration.
- The Profile is a US-led instrument; Australian agencies may find it useful as a reference rather than a mandate.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies working on AI cybersecurity frameworks may want to monitor the Cyber AI Profile's development, particularly its treatment of Agentic AI, for potential alignment with Australian guidance.
- Consider Policy and security teams could consider reviewing the Preliminary Draft Cyber AI Profile as a reference when developing or updating agency-level AI risk and cybersecurity controls.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is conducting a virtual working session series to develop the next version of the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Cyber AI Profile. Session 2, held on 5 May 2026, focuses on extending technical content in areas including Agentic AI and Zero Trust, in response to feedback from a January 2026 workshop. The Profile is designed to help organisations prioritise cybersecurity risks arising from AI adoption. Sessions are open to government, industry, and academia, and NIST is accepting written feedback via email for those unable to attend.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies working on AI cybersecurity frameworks may want to monitor the Cyber AI Profile's development, particularly its treatment of Agentic AI, for potential alignment with Australian guidance.
- [Consider] Policy and security teams could consider reviewing the Preliminary Draft Cyber AI Profile as a reference when developing or updating agency-level AI risk and cybersecurity controls.
