Adaptive Cyber Threat Response

This challenge focuses on building a proactive and adaptive multi-agent system for cybersecurity threat intelligence and incident response. Participants will use AutoGen to orchestrate a dynamic team of agents, leveraging OpenAI o3 for advanced threat analysis and decision-making. The agents will communicate using the A2A Protocol and integrate with simulated security tools (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, vulnerability scanners). The system will implement a robust RAG mechanism with a vector database (e.g., Qdrant) to pull real-time threat intelligence and historical incident data. Agents will dynamically form to analyze emerging threats, propose containment strategies, and simulate response actions, providing a comprehensive incident summary and actionable recommendations.

What you are building

Develop an adaptive multi-agent system with AutoGen and OpenAI o3 for real-time cyber threat analysis and incident response using A2A and RAG.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

The solution will be evaluated on its ability to accurately detect and classify a simulated cyber threat, propose appropriate response actions, generate a comprehensive incident report, and demonstrate effective dynamic agent collaboration. The quality of RAG-driven threat intelligence will also be assessed.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Learning goals

  • Integrate real-time threat intelligence via RAG with vector search into agent workflows.

  • Develop tool-using agents for interacting with simulated security systems.

  • Orchestrate dynamic multi-agent collaboration for complex, real-time problem-solving using AutoGen.

  • Implement A2A Protocol for structured agent communication in a cybersecurity context.
