This is a Federal News Network Expert Edition ebook, distributed by Carahsoft, on AI in offensive cyber operations and what federal agencies can do with the convergence. It is a compilation of twelve short articles rather than a single-vendor paper, with contributors from GSA, IARPA, the IRS, the Army, and the Naval Postgraduate School alongside vendor technologists. SimSpace field CISO Jason Rivera writes the piece arguing that cyber ranges are the next step in deterrence now that the AI arms race has begun. Other entries cover FedRAMP’s automation overhaul and Key Security Indicators, IARPA’s TrojAI work on adversarial AI, IRS Criminal Investigations’ fraud pattern detection, the Army’s Project Athena, and post-quantum readiness under NSM-10 and M-23-02. Download the ebook for the individual agency perspectives and the technology detail behind each.
