The FBI has released a public cyber strategy aiming for faster disruption of hacker activities and greater involvement of private companies, with a focus on AI tools to speed threat detection and quicker victim notification. The strategy supports expanded partnerships with government and foreign entities, and complements a new program allowing vetted U.S. companies to conduct offensive cyber operations under federal oversight.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The FBI is handing you a larger role in disrupting foreign cybercriminal groups under tight federal oversight, opening a new front for your cyber defence or offense services. Act fast on this early window of cooperation as crawling regulatory detail will soon define your limits.
