The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Indiana University to implement artificial intelligence-enabled vulnerability management practices to enhance the safety and security of open-source cloud computing ecosystems. The project, titled "SAFE-OSE: Implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Enabled Vulnerability Management Practices to Enhance Safety and Security of Open-Source Cloud Computing Ecosystems," aims to make important research tools in the cloud safer from cyber threats by using AI to detect and fix software vulnerabilities in the JetStream Cloud and ExoSphere platforms. The project will conduct extensive vulnerability scanning, develop AI-enabled vulnerability management methods to suggest software alternatives and generate vulnerability-minimizing solutions, and enrich the ExoSphere user interface with opt-in scan results and AI-enabled vulnerability mitigation capabilities. This effort supports researchers, cloud operators, and broader scientific communities by improving the safety and reliability of these critical cloud computing platforms. The award period is from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027.
