Topic description
To counter cyber-attackers with access to ever more powerful and commoditized Artificial Intelligence (AI), next generation SOAR (Security Orchestration Automation and Response) frameworks assisting SOC (Security Operations Center) cybersecurity experts to detect and respond to cyberattacks will need to integrate a comprehensive set of explainable AI services. The thesis topic is the engineering of two such AI services, one for online planning of cyberattack response and one for online planning of cyberattacks, co-trained against one another through adversarial machine learning in red team vs. blue team attack-defense simulations.
The starting hypothesis for the research is that both these explainable AI services can be rapidly implemented and tested, partially through declarative manual programming, and partially through adversarial machine learning, by probabilistic logic programs with multi-objective utility facts and probabilistic event calculus metarules.
