Crossing the Cyber Divide: Sim-to-Sim and Sim-to-Real Transfer for RL Agents
Sabrina Saika, Yinuo Du, Aritran Piplai
Cyber attack agents are typically trained and evaluated within a single simulator, making it unclear whether learned policies transfer beyond the environments in which they were de…
RuleAutoPilot: Synthesizing Deployable Suricata Rules from Network Traffic
Mughees Ur Rehman, Aritran Piplai, Murat Kantarcioglu
Rule-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) such as Suricata are central to network security, yet crafting effective detection rules demands deep expert knowledge and cannot keep…
Find Before You Fine-Tune: A Diagnostic Study of Small LLMs for Cybersecurity QA
Shaswata Mitra, Subash Neupane, Trisha Chakraborty +4
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly fine-tuned for critical-domain Question-Answering (QA), yet choosing which small model to adapt, before paying the cost of adaptation,…
SMETA-ZSL:Semantic Meta-Alignment for Zero-Shot Threat Classification
Ivan Alejandro Montoya Sanchez, Anantaa Kotal, Aritran Piplai
Cybersecurity systems must adapt rapidly to emerging threats. However, labeled data for new threat categories is unavailable when those threats first appear. Generalized zero-shot…
McNdroid: A Longitudinal Multimodal Benchmark for Robust Drift Detection in Android Malware
Md Mahmuduzzaman Kamol, Jesus Lopez, Saeefa Rubaiyet Nowmi +5
Machine learning (ML) in real-world systems must contend with concept drift, adversarial actors, and a spectrum of potential features with varying costs and benefits. Malware natur…
Evaluating Generalization Mechanisms in Autonomous Cyber Attack Agents
Ondřej Lukáš, Jihoon Shin, Emilia Rivas +6
Autonomous offensive agents often fail to transfer beyond the networks on which they are trained. We isolate a minimal but fundamental shift -- unseen host/subnet IP reassignment i…
