Google patents AI agents that automatically investigate network security threats
Google has filed a patent for a system where multiple AI agents work together to monitor computer networks. Each agent has specific rules and uses language models to analyze and sort out security events without human help.
In the filing’s own words
A computing system for autonomous cybersecurity operations includes one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store one or more sets of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to implement a multi-agent cybersecurity operations framework comprising a plurality of cybersecurity agents; wherein the plurality of cybersecurity agents autonomously interoperate to perform investigation and triage of cybersecurity events for one or more computer networks.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computing system for autonomous cybersecurity operations, the computing system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store one or more sets of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to implement a multi-agent cybersecurity operations framework comprising a plurality of cybersecurity agents; wherein the plurality of cybersecurity agents autonomously interoperate to perform investigation and triage of cybersecurity events for one or more computer networks; wherein each of the plurality of cybersecurity agents comprises a respective structured description of analysis principles and policies for a respective task or workflow performed by the respective cybersecurity agent; wherein each of the plurality of cybersecurity agents is configured to implement or make calls to one or more sequence processing models when performing its respective task or workflow; and wherein, when each cybersecurity agent implements or makes calls to the one or more sequence processing models, the cybersecurity agent is configured to provide at least a portion of the structured description of analysis principles and policies as conditioning data for the one or more sequence processing models.
