Developing Optimal Causal Cyber-Defence Agents via Cyber Security Simulation. (arXiv:2207.12355v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

In this paper we explore cyber security defence, through the unification of a
novel cyber security simulator with models for (causal) decision-making through
optimisation. Particular attention is paid to a recently published approach:
dynamic causal Bayesian optimisation (DCBO). We propose that DCBO can act as a
blue agent when provided with a view of a simulated network and a causal model
of how a red agent spreads within that network. To investigate how DCBO can
perform optimal interventions on host …
