Cybersecurity firms have pioneered the use of artificial intelligence in their products, but the latest generation of AI technology offers hope that a greater share of the work to secure computer systems could be automated. A new competition at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aims to jump start efforts to build open source AI tools to find and fix vulnerabilities. Program Manager Perri Adams leads that effort and recently caught up with my colleague Elias Grolls on the CyberScoop Safe Mode podcast to discuss how to encourage developers to build tools that anyone might use to secure computer systems.

Hack U.S. initiative helping improve DOD's cybersecurity posture
On this week’s episode of The DefenseScoop Podcast, the Defense Department is reviewing results from the Hack U.S. program that ended Monday.
Rear Adm. Danelle Barrett (USN, ret.), former deputy chief information officer of the Navy and former director of current operations at U.S. Cyber Command, explains what organizations can learn about their cybersecurity posture from bug-bounty programs like Hack U.S.
Director of DOD's Vulnerability Disclosure Program in the DOD Cyber Crime Center Melissa Vice tells FedScoop’s Billy Mitchell how the program is the first of its kind and what the Pentagon hopes to learn from the bug bounty.
