Cybersecurity AI: Evaluating Agentic Cybersecurity in Attack/Defense CTFs

We empirically evaluate whether AI systems are more effective at attacking or defending in cybersecurity. Using CAI Cybersecurity AI's parallel execution framework, we deployed autonomous agents in 23 Attack/Defense CTF battlegrounds. Statistical analysis reveals defensive agents achieve 54.3%...

Structuring Security: A Survey of Cybersecurity Ontologies, Semantic Log Processing, and LLMs Application

This survey investigates how ontologies, semantic log processing, and Large Language Models LLMs enhance cybersecurity. Ontologies structure domain knowledge, enabling interoperability, data integration, and advanced threat analysis. Security logs, though critical, are often unstructured and...

Extortion and ransomware drive over half of cyberattacks

In 80% of the cyber incidents Microsoft’s security teams investigated last year, attackers sought to steal data—a trend driven more by financial gain than intelligence gathering. According to the latest Microsoft Digital Defense Report, written with our Chief Information Security Officer Igor...
