CISA and partner agencies from six countries published joint guidance on the secure use of AI in operational technology (OT) for critical infrastructure, giving operators a shared framework for reducing cyber and safety risk. The 25-page document, Principles for the Secure Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Operational Technology, lays out four principles for integrating AI into OT/ICS systems. It highlights use cases across PLCs, RTUs, SCADA, DCS, and HMI systems, including anomaly detection, maintenance prediction, and threat detection. The guidance also warns that poor implementation can lead to system compromise, disruptions, financial loss, inaccurate alerts, and functional safety impact.

    CISA and partner agencies issue AI-in-OT guidance

    Legal Policy Action Update

    CISA and partner cyber agencies from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand published joint guidance for critical infrastructure owners and operators on the safe and secure use of artificial intelligence in operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). The 25-page document, titled “Principles for the Secure Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Operational Technology,” lays out four principles covering AI understanding, business use-case selection, governance and assurance, and oversight and failsafe practices, while warning that poor integration can create system compromise, disruptions, financial loss, inaccurate alerts, reduced availability, safety risks, and reputational damage.
