Description

What it is and what it is for

AI-assisted draft · independently checked

Computer security incident management is the work of watching computer systems for security events and responding properly when something goes wrong, so that the response to damaging events is well understood and predictable. A newer problem is AI agents that act on their own and may take actions their operators never instructed. This document sets out ten voluntary practices for handling such incidents while "super intelligence" (SI) systems are being trained and tested, grouped into five stages: preparation, detection, response, recovery and reporting. It is aimed at organizations that train or evaluate highly capable SI agents with limited human supervision. NIST, the NSA and CISA published it in October 2026.

Written from primary sources and reference pages, and checked against them by an independent AI fact-checker. Drafted with AI assistance.
