NIST NCCoE Cyber AI Profile Virtual Working Session Series: Updates to Profile Elements and Contents
NIST's Cyber AI Profile is shaping international baseline standards for AI-related cybersecurity risk - Australian agencies may eventually align to or reference its outputs.
Key points
- NIST NCCoE is running a virtual working series to refine the CSF Cyber AI Profile through public input.
- The Profile aims to help organisations manage cybersecurity risks arising from AI adoption - directly relevant to APS AI risk frameworks.
- This is an event announcement for a past session; direct APS participation is unlikely but outputs are worth monitoring.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies with cybersecurity and AI governance responsibilities may want to monitor the Cyber AI Profile's development, as its outputs could inform Australian AI risk and cybersecurity guidance.
- Consider APS teams developing AI risk frameworks could consider reviewing the Cyber AI Profile preliminary draft and discussion essays for alignment with Australian Government security and AI governance requirements.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has launched a virtual working session series to gather community input on the next draft of its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Cyber AI Profile. The Profile is designed to help organisations strategically adopt AI while identifying and prioritising cybersecurity risks. A preliminary draft was workshopped in January 2026, and this series continues that iterative development. Sessions are open to government, industry, and academia, and are supported by discussion essays released ahead of each session.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies with cybersecurity and AI governance responsibilities may want to monitor the Cyber AI Profile's development, as its outputs could inform Australian AI risk and cybersecurity guidance.
- [Consider] APS teams developing AI risk frameworks could consider reviewing the Cyber AI Profile preliminary draft and discussion essays for alignment with Australian Government security and AI governance requirements.
