Request for Information -AI Cyber Defense for Commercial Internet

The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) J6 is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI to identify AI‑driven cybersecurity solutions for its commercial internet service. The desired system must provide real‑time threat detection, behavioral analytics, automated incident response, and continuous learning, while supporting on‑premise or hybrid deployment and seamless integration with existing security stacks (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Endpoint). Required capabilities include protection for Windows, Linux, and macOS; policy enforcement (blocking, prompting, step‑up verification, session restriction); comprehensive logging and auditing; enhanced detection of exfiltration, unauthorized access, and anomalous file activity; Zero‑Trust principles; real‑time web filtering of malicious sites; predictive threat intelligence for zero‑day domains/URLs; encrypted traffic analysis (including TLS 1.3); advanced anti‑phishing and social‑engineering detection; behavioral baselining and anomaly detection with risk scoring; automatic data discovery/classification of CUI; and data‑loss‑prevention across email, web uploads, and removable media. An additional AI‑governance component must give visibility and control over internal and external AI tools to prevent sensitive data leakage into generative AI platforms. Responses (max 5‑page paper or 15‑slide PowerPoint) must be submitted by 15:00 EST on 28 May 2026 via email to Kristen Colyer (kristen.colyer@socom.mil). Offerors should indicate whether the solution can be procured through NASA SEWP, GSA, FedBizOpps, or another Government BPA, and provide firm name, address, point‑of‑contact, phone/fax, and email. No price information is required; include an NDA if needed. This RFI is for information‑gathering only and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of award.
