Challenge

Cybersecurity M&A Due Diligence

Develop an advanced agent system for automated cybersecurity Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) due diligence. This challenge focuses on creating a Langroid-orchestrated multi-agent system that leverages GPT-5.2 Pro's extended thinking capabilities to analyze potential acquisition targets. The system will integrate with various external data sources—such as threat intelligence platforms, financial databases, and corporate security reports—through a robust MCP tool integration layer. The system should perform deep dives into a target company's cybersecurity posture, identify potential vulnerabilities, assess compliance risks, and project post-acquisition integration challenges. It will utilize RAG with LlamaIndex to query internal and external knowledge bases, enabling agents to retrieve and synthesize critical information efficiently. Adaptive reasoning budgets will be employed to dynamically allocate computational resources for complex problem-solving, ensuring comprehensive analysis within defined cost parameters.
