Strengthening Defensive Cybersecurity and Penetration Testing Services Through Agentic AI and Automation

The government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking a vendor to provide strengthening defensive cybersecurity and penetration testing services through agentic AI and automation. The agency is trying to solve the problem of manual, fragmented security workflows by implementing a solution that involves a team of specialized AI Agents. These agents must be configured with specific tools, knowledge, and roles to collaborate on executing complex cybersecurity workflows. The scope of work covers three main areas, starting with project management to devise high-level plans for security tasks like network enumeration or vulnerability assessment using algorithms and security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Additionally, the project requires cyber analysis to interpret raw data from scans and tests, identifying and prioritizing defensive actions and vulnerabilities by utilizing vulnerability databases and threat intelligence feeds. Finally, the scope includes code generation and execution to translate high-level plans and priorities into executable code and command-line instructions, such as NMAP and Metasploit, and run them in emulated environments. Bidders must be onshore USA organizations to meet the eligibility rules for this opportunity. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online, and the agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget.
