Idea
A game-theoretic cybersecurity platform using AI to optimize patch strategies and defense tactics for enterprises.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces CyGATE, a novel framework that models cyber attacker-defender interactions as a partially observable stochastic game. It uniquely integrates large language models with retrieval-augmented generation to enhance tactic selection and patch prioritization dynamically. The system also supports multi-agent extensions for complex enterprise environments, improving adaptability and resource optimization.

Research Paper Overview
CyGATE: Game-Theoretic Cyber Attack-Defense Engine for Patch Strategy Optimization
Summary
CyGATE is a game-theoretic framework that models attacker-defender interactions in cybersecurity using large language models with retrieval-augmented generation to improve tactic selection and patch prioritization. It frames cyber conflicts as a partially observable stochastic game across Cyber Kill Chain stages, enabling dynamic adaptation to evolving threats and optimizing resource use. The architecture supports extension to multi-agent scenarios for complex enterprise environments.
