Cyber AI Workshop #2
NIST's Cyber AI Profile will likely influence how Australian agencies frame cybersecurity controls for AI systems - worth tracking as it finalises.
Key points
- NIST NCCoE hosted a hybrid workshop on 14 January 2026 to develop its Cyber AI Profile under the Cybersecurity Framework.
- The preliminary Cyber AI Profile and SP 800-53 COSAiS overlay are open for public comment until 30 January 2026.
- This is a past event with a closed comment window - limited immediate action available for APS readers.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies developing AI security controls may want to monitor the final Cyber AI Profile publication, as NIST frameworks frequently inform Australian government practice.
- Consider APS teams working on AI risk or cybersecurity governance could consider reviewing the preliminary Cyber AI Profile draft to assess alignment with existing Australian frameworks such as the Essential Eight and ASD guidance.

NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence held a full-day hybrid workshop on 14 January 2026 at MITRE Corporation to gather feedback on its preliminary draft Cyber AI Profile, a Cybersecurity Framework profile designed to help organisations manage cybersecurity risks arising from AI adoption. The workshop also provided an update on SP 800-53 Control Overlays for Securing AI Systems (COSAiS). The public comment period closed on 30 January 2026. As NIST standards frequently inform Australian government cybersecurity and AI governance practices, the final Cyber AI Profile will be worth monitoring once published.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies developing AI security controls may want to monitor the final Cyber AI Profile publication, as NIST frameworks frequently inform Australian government practice.
- [Consider] APS teams working on AI risk or cybersecurity governance could consider reviewing the preliminary Cyber AI Profile draft to assess alignment with existing Australian frameworks such as the Essential Eight and ASD guidance.
