OT Cybersecurity Cyber Incident Response Agent with Google ADK

Operational technology cyber attacks can corrupt PLC firmware or force unexpected safety system shutdowns. Build an autonomous OT incident response agent using Google ADK that ingests network syslog anomalies and automatically initiates safe isolation playbooks. Achieve a 100% containment score without triggering unintended safety shutdowns on clean lines.

What you are building

Build an OT security incident response agent using Google ADK abstractions to evaluate network syslogs and trigger containment playbooks.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates incident containment speed and safety preservation during simulated cyber attacks.

Datasets

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

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

safety_preservation

Ensure PLC safety system remained online during containment

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

containment_success_rate

Proportion of cyber attack scenarios successfully isolated • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Configure Google ADK agents for continuous syslog stream evaluation

  • Design tool routines for executing firewall port isolation and PLC read-only locks

  • Validate zero unhandled false alarm isolations across 50 simulated baseline test scenarios

Resources

Dataset notes

Factory network syslog logs recorded during simulated OT ransomware and unauthorized write injection attacks.

Challenge setup

Evaluates incident containment speed and safety preservation during simulated cyber attacks.

Challenge input

JSON syslog record indicating unauthorized PLC command burst

Google ADK

Offers structured tool execution loops for complex security playbooks.

Evaluated output
