This tackles the problem of cyber defense overload for network defenders, but it is incremental as it builds on existing automation concepts.
The paper addresses the overwhelming number and scale of cyber attacks by proposing autonomous cyber agents to augment defenders, automating critical steps in the defense life cycle.
Defenders are overwhelmed by the number and scale of attacks against their networks.This problem will only be exacerbated as attackers leverage artificial intelligence to automate their workflows. We propose a path to autonomous cyber agents able to augment defenders by automating critical steps in the cyber defense life cycle.
