“…Proactive and Moving Target Defenses have already shown to be an effective method of managing threats and increasing resilience, 4,5 but fully automated defenses are limited in their ability to generalize and incorporate external information. For this reason, teaming between automated and human defenders is critical.…”

In this paper the authors present the results of an experiment conducted at the 2022 NATO Cyber Coalition Exercise in Tallinn, Estonia wherein a prototype Autonomous Intelligent Cyberdefense Agent (AICA) was evaluated for its contributions to cyber operator efficacy. Six teams were given list of objectives to accomplish including preventing other teams from accomplishing the same. This included monitoring the operations of a simulated power micro-grid supporting each team's network. Half of the teams (assigned at random) were given a AICA prototype. Evaluation of efficacy included self-reports from participating teams and measurement of total system uptime. Testing highlighted areas where future development can further enhance the prototype to improve automated responses and interactions with operators, as well as enhancements for future exercises of this type.
