# Federal Agencies Apply AI to Cybersecurity

A free, internet-based webinar examines how federal agencies are using AI and automation to strengthen cybersecurity strategy and simplify security operations. Speakers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Idaho National Laboratory, and industry are slated to discuss operational needs, impact measurement, and workforce readiness. The announcement provides no event date and identifies no solicitation or procurement program, so the opportunity is informational rather than a contract action.

- Contractors can use the agency and industry perspectives to understand operational priorities and the kinds of outcomes agencies may seek from AI-enabled security operations.
- Organizations providing cybersecurity or AI services may find the discussion relevant to how they describe impact measurement and workforce readiness in offerings to federal customers.
- The announcement gives no procurement timeline or solicitation details; it does not establish a specific bid opportunity.
