A Treasury, DHS and Pentagon effort is meant to help industry and government engineers prioritize critical-infrastructure vulnerabilities; a separate model-review framework under the same executive order remains unpublished.
CNN reported that the White House has announced a new AI-focused cybersecurity clearinghouse, called Gold Eagle, that it says will coordinate cyber defenses across critical infrastructure — an effort run jointly by the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.
AI developers, cybersecurity firms and critical-infrastructure operators such as utilities and banks are meant to coordinate through the Gold Eagle clearinghouse. A combined team of industry and government engineers is expected to triage reported flaws, decide what to fix first and coordinate fixes. According to the White House, the aim is to stop teams from duplicating one another's work by separately scanning for or fixing the same vulnerabilities.
A senior White House official told reporters at a Tuesday briefing that new AI capabilities now allow vulnerabilities to be discovered at a scale not seen before, the rationale offered for building the clearinghouse.
The White House declined to say which companies are taking part, describing them only as open-source software partners and American critical-infrastructure firms.
Gold Eagle satisfies one requirement of an executive order President Trump signed in June 2026. Separately, the same order calls for a system that would let AI companies hand over their advanced models for federal review up to 30 days ahead of any wider release to other "trusted partners."
That separate model-review framework is due by early August but has not yet been made public. In the meantime, the White House has handled model releases case by case — including a lifted export ban tied to Anthropic and a request that OpenAI limit its latest model. CNN described the approach as inconsistent amid industry calls for clearer regulation.
