arXiv:2610.33234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cybersecurity operators increasingly encounter sophisticated and fast-paced attacks, making autonomous cyber defense (ACD) a critical approach for supporting timely and effective decision-making. Reinforcement learning (RL)-based ACD agents have the ability to autonomously observe network states and take actions to defend and recover system assets, making them well suited for ACD.
