- White House, Treasury, DHS and DoW Partner to Launch Gold Eagle Program
- The initiative will avoid duplicate work and prioritize fixing vulnerabilities.
- Gold Eagle will also help identify systems that may be at risk.
The US government has launched Gold Eagle, a new clearinghouse that aims to centralize the discovery and remediation of vulnerabilities amid evolving AI-powered security threats.
Gold Eagle will serve as a hub between federal agencies, AI developers, open source software developers and critical infrastructure companies, with the goal of accelerating the discovery of vulnerabilities and preventing major incidents from occurring in the first place.
The project was established as part of President Trump’s June 2, 2026 Executive Order “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security” and represents a collaboration between Treasury, DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Department of War.
US Gold Eagle Program Tackles Growing Vulnerability Exploitation
Under this program, vulnerability scanning will be done centrally to ensure that multiple organizations are not independently repeating the same work. Gold Eagle will also identify critical software, networks and infrastructure that may be at risk, before coordinating patches. The White House described the project as a “force multiplier.”
Although AI is largely responsible for the increase in attacks, Gold Eagle is prepared to fight fire with fire by using AI to identify bugs as well, using models like Anthropic’s Mythos.
“Through this strategic partnership, we will expand existing security measures to protect software and networks in the 21st century and continue to promote advances in artificial intelligence,” wrote DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
The concept of a dedicated clearinghouse centralizes vulnerability management to ensure the right bugs are prioritized and to avoid the noise of lower quality reporting. Its help will most likely be felt by the open source community, which has limited resources and financial support to identify and fix problems as effectively as enterprise software companies.
“Under the leadership of President Trump, we are bringing a warfighting foundation to the cyber domain to relentlessly address vulnerabilities,” added Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
