Abstract

This work introduces CAI Fluency, an an educational platform of the Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework dedicated to democratizing the knowledge and application of cybersecurity AI tools in the global security community. The main objective of the CAI framework is to accelerate the widespread adoption and effective use of artificial intelligence-based cybersecurity solutions, pathing the way to vibe-hacking, the cybersecurity analogon to vibe-coding. CAI Fluency builds upon the Framework for AI Fluency, adapting its three modalities of human-AI interaction and four core competencies specifically for cybersecurity applications. This theoretical foundation ensures that practitioners develop not just technical skills, but also the critical thinking and ethical awareness necessary for responsible AI use in security contexts. This technical report serves as a white-paper, as well as detailed educational and practical guide that helps users understand the principles behind the CAI framework, and educates them how to apply this knowledge in their projects and real-world security contexts.
