NIST, NSA, and CISA release ten practices for incident response in superintelligence training and evaluation

NIST, the NSA's Security of Super Intelligent Systems Center (NSA SISC), and CISA jointly released "Critical Practices for Incident Preparedness and Response in Superintelligent Training and Evaluation," proposing ten voluntary core practices to help organizations training and evaluating high-capability superintelligent (SI) agents prepare for and handle SI control incidents. An SI control incident refers to one or more SI agents taking unauthorized actions that conflict with the policies, controls, or safety measures that confine tasks and provide human oversight. The document aligns with cybersecurity incident response best practices and adds SI-related considerations, covering limiting agent access to information, systems, tools, and networks, monitoring anomalous activity, preserving evidence and shutting down improper behavior, rebuilding from verified baselines, and reporting incidents and near misses to relevant government agencies and affected parties. The document also emphasizes testing controls and verifying isolation before resuming SI agent activity.
