Towards Mission Aware Cyber-Resiliency with Autonomous Agents

Abstract

Cyber resiliency has been gaining traction as a transdisciplinary approach to cyber-physical system safety and security. Apart from its inherent complexity, the discipline is relatively immature, its current form being abstract descriptions of organizational and managerial aspects revolving around the design of cyber resilient systems. The concept of Autonomous Intelligent Agents for cyber resiliency has been theorized and shows promise towards developing mission aware autonomous defenders. This paper presents our educated opinions on the subject and theorize about the conceptual design of Autonomous Resiliency Agents.
