arXiv:2609.16541v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We have applied a novel combination of classic relational database modeling and modern reinforcement learning to automated intrusion response to enable inductive decision agents. Unlike previous work in the area, our approach allows agents to handle variable quantities of network assets without retraining. We test the operational performance of our approach in a virtualized computer network with variable topologies, red-team automation and sim
Editorial Analysis
Most automated response tools are brittle when network layouts change; inductive agents that transfer across topologies could reduce mean-time-to-contain for enterprises with heterogeneous infrastructure.
Evaluate cyber-range testing of RL-based response agents to understand their readiness relative to your current SOAR playbooks.
