Why this is canonical

'Cyber protocol' spans both established practice — the rules governing secure network communication — and the emerging challenge of defining security protocols for AI agents. The meta-category layer and .ai TLD position this above individual security implementations and at the protocol-definition stratum.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI agent security protocols
Defining how AI agents authenticate, authorize, and communicate securely across trust boundaries.
AI infrastructure, MCP-layer, and agentic security builders
Security standards and governance
A brand for a standards initiative or framework governing AI system security protocols.
Standards bodies, security governance, and AI policy organizations

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
