1. Our Commitment
VECERT Foundation is committed to the responsible, transparent, and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in support of our nonprofit mission.
We believe AI should enhance cybersecurity, strengthen digital resilience, and empower people and organizations while respecting privacy, human rights, fairness, and accountability.
Our guiding principle is simple: Artificial Intelligence should assist human decision-making, not replace it.
2. Purpose of AI
We use AI to improve cybersecurity services, accelerate analysis, and help organizations better understand digital risks.
AI is intended to support and not replace qualified cybersecurity professionals.
3. How AI May Be Used
AI technologies may be integrated into services such as:
- Analyzer Pro 360
- Threat Intelligence Analysis
- Risk Assessment
- Threat Correlation
- Malware Classification
- IOC Analysis
- Digital Investigation Support
- Security Report Generation
- Cyber Threat Summaries
- Public Cybersecurity Tools
4. Human Oversight
Important cybersecurity decisions should always involve human review.
AI-generated analyses, recommendations, and reports are intended to assist analysts and decision-makers but should not be considered definitive conclusions.
5. Transparency
Whenever reasonably possible, VECERT Foundation will communicate when AI has significantly contributed to reports, recommendations, risk scores, automated classifications, or security assessments.
Users should understand that AI outputs are probabilistic and may contain inaccuracies.
6. Accuracy and Limitations
While AI can significantly improve cybersecurity operations, it has limitations.
AI may produce incomplete analyses, misclassify information, generate inaccurate conclusions, or require additional verification.
Users remain responsible for validating critical findings before making operational, legal, or security decisions.
7. Privacy
We strive to:
- Minimize unnecessary data collection.
- Protect confidential information.
- Apply appropriate security safeguards.
- Respect applicable privacy laws.
