The Trump administration has launched Gold Eagle, a new cybersecurity coordination initiative designed to leverage artificial intelligence to identify, prioritize, and address vulnerabilities across U.S. critical infrastructure.

Created under President Donald Trump’s June 2026 executive order, Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security, Gold Eagle establishes a centralized clearinghouse that brings together AI developers, open-source software partners, critical infrastructure operators, and federal agencies. The program aims to improve the speed and scale of vulnerability detection and remediation while reducing duplicated efforts across government and industry.

The initiative is being led by the White House in partnership with the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Department of War.

Officials say the effort will use frontier AI capabilities to uncover software and infrastructure weaknesses, coordinate verification efforts, and deliver actionable remediation guidance to both public- and private-sector defenders.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Treasury Department is working hand in hand with the private sector to safeguard our financial institutions, close vulnerabilities, and protect the integrity of the U.S. financial system. The Treasury, along with our partner agencies, will continue to harness frontier AI capabilities to stay ahead of our adversaries and defend the American people from emerging threats,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.

The initiative has already begun collecting and prioritizing vulnerability reports from multiple sectors and coordinating responses among participating organizations. “Under the leadership of President Trump, we are bringing a wartime footing to the cyber domain to relentlessly patch vulnerabilities. Gold Eagle serves as the vanguard of America’s cyber defense. We are leveraging frontier AI alongside top American innovators to safeguard our critical infrastructure and protect the homeland,” said Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
