DESCRIPTION


The government authority in Washington, DC seeks a vendor to enhance its defensive cybersecurity posture and automate penetration testing through an agentic AI framework. This framework will leverage specialized AI agents, each configured with unique tools, knowledge, and roles, to collaborate on executing complex cybersecurity workflows.

Key services include advanced project management for cybersecurity tasks such as network enumeration and vulnerability assessment, using leading industry algorithms and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. The solution must also support cyber analysis by interpreting scan and test data to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities, utilizing established vulnerability databases and threat intelligence feeds. The framework should enable code generation and command execution, translating high-level plans into actionable code (e.g., utilizing tools such as NMAP and Metasploit) and executing these safely in emulated environments.

Vendors are expected to provide a comprehensive, intelligent, and automated cybersecurity operations capability that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure while improving efficiency and threat response.
