We’re so excited to share that Robust Intelligence (now part of Cisco) has been recognized in the first-ever 2024 Gartner Cool Vendor for AI Security report. According to Gartner, “This Cool Vendor research identifies providers with innovative ways of securing AI applications, supporting AI trust, risk and security management capabilities.” In our view, this mention of Robust Intelligence celebrates the innovative work the team has done since day one and continues as a part of Cisco—creating the first-ever AI Firewall, undergoing extensive research into topics like fine tuning and algorithmic jailbreaking, and developing an end-to-end platform for AI security which has become the template for the industry.

🇺🇸 The Biden-Harris administration signed the first National Security Memorandum on AI last week, which outlines government guardrails for how AI should be used and protected. The Memorandum on Advancing the United States’ Leadership in Artificial Intelligence aims to secure US dominance in AI, responsible innovation, and support national security. Notably, the following commitments are made in the memorandum: 1️⃣ “Within 120 days of the date of this memorandum, the National Security Agency (NSA), acting through its AI Security Center (AISC) and in coordination with AISI, shall develop the capability to perform rapid systematic classified testing of AI models’ capacity to detect, generate, and/or exacerbate offensive cyber threats. Such tests shall assess the degree to which AI systems, if misused, could accelerate offensive cyber operations. 2️⃣ Within 180 days of the date of this memorandum, AISI shall issue guidance for AI developers on how to test, evaluate, and manage risks to safety, security, and trustworthiness arising from dual-use foundation models, building on guidelines issued pursuant to subsection 4.1(a) of Executive Order 14110. 3️⃣ Within 180 days of the date of this memorandum, AISI, in consultation with other agencies as appropriate, shall develop or recommend benchmarks or other methods for assessing AI systems’ capabilities and limitations in science, mathematics, code generation, and general reasoning, as well as other categories of activity that AISI deems relevant to assessing general-purpose capabilities likely to have a bearing on national security and public safety.” This further demonstrates the Biden Administration’s commitment to use AI to enhance government operations, while mitigating potential risk associated with the technology.
