CISA CIO on Agentic AI, Building the Cyber Workforce
Bob Costello, CIO, CISA
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) CIO Bob Costello joined GovCIO Media & Research at its AI Summit earlier this year to discuss how the agency is deploying agentic AI and tackling cybersecurity workforce challenges. Costello outlined how CISA is integrating AI into operations while prioritizing security, oversight and workforce readiness.
Costello highlighted CISA’s partnership with the Office of Personnel Management on the Scholarship for Service CyberCorps program, which aims to strengthen the federal cybersecurity talent pipeline. He said federal agencies need new approaches to help employees better understand AI’s role and build confidence using the technology in day-to-day work. He also discussed how CISA’s agentic AI capabilities are accelerating approval timelines and autonomously taking action to mitigate cyber threats.
