Salesforce Deploys Agentforce Across US Army

Salesforce has announced, in a company press release, that Agentforce, its AI agent platform, is now authorized at Impact Level 5 (IL5) for use across the Department of War via its Missionforce National Security platform, alongside a separate deployment for the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC).

Salesforce said Army HRC becomes the first Department of War organization to deploy the newly IL5-authorized Agentforce Public Sector, using AI agents to provide round-the-clock support for the 9.2 million Soldiers, Veterans, civilian staff, and military families it serves. Salesforce said HRC processes more than 1,500 cases daily, and the agents will handle routine inquiries and case summarization while routing sensitive decisions to human specialists. Salesforce projected more than 55 million agent conversations per month at full scale, and said its underlying Digital Front Door platform, ahead of any Agentforce deployment, is projected to save $6 million annually through reduced manual processing and system consolidation.

Separately, Salesforce said the broader IL5 authorization brings its full Agentforce 360 portfolio, including Data 360 and Tableau Next, to Department of War logistics, recruiting, and command decision-making, hosted on AWS GovCloud. The company said the platform will also expand to the Intelligence Community using a "develop low, deploy high" model allowing work in unclassified environments before deployment to the Top Secret Network. Salesforce cited a Government Accountability Office finding that 74% of U.S. Air Force aircraft missed depot maintenance deadlines as rationale for the shift toward autonomous AI.

Who Owns AI Security in the Enterprise? Governance Is Still in Its Infancy

Who actually owns AI security in your organisation — and how mature is your governance around it? Two senior CISOs from vastly different environments give a straight answer: ownership sits with the CISO for now, and governance, even in well-run programmes, is still in its infancy. AI is shifting enterprise risk from defending infrastructure to defending decisions. Agentic AI operates semi- or fully autonomously, traditional security controls don’t fit probabilistic systems, and no single vendor covers the full attack surface. Speakers: Andy Holliday, CISO at Petrofac, Lester Godsey, CISO at Arizona State University and Stewart Tinson, Project Director, AI-360 You’ll learn: • Why the CISO is the only realistic owner of AI security risk for the next 5 years • Why agentic AI breaks deterministic security controls and what to do about it • How ASU built an actionable AI framework supporting 60+ large language models • Practical controls: API key hygiene, command whitelists, blast radius reduction • Why no single vendor can cover AI security end-to-end Key topics: Agentic AI risk • AI governance maturity • Threat model transformation • CISO ownership • Incident response for AI • Ethics & training data bias • Vendor landscape reality • Probabilistic vs deterministic controls For CISOs, CIOs, and risk leaders making decisions about AI adoption now.
