AGENTIC AI FOR CYBERSECURITY: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN AND GOVERNANCE OF RESILIENT AUTONOMOUS DEFENSE SYSTEMS
REFNo: SIR547ES
1.3 Main Objective
The primary objective of this research is to construct a theoretically grounded and ethically aligned framework for conceptualizing, simulating, evaluating, and governing AAI systems in cybersecurity. The framework will serve as a strategic model for autonomous defensive agents, focusing on secure, transparent, and accountable operation in adversarial environments, in alignment with legal and normative expectations.
1.4 Specific Objectives
i. To develop a reference model for agentic AI systems integrating autonomy, ethical responsiveness, and adaptive reasoning by synthesizing existing literature and formalizing the framework within the first phase of the study.
ii. To design and implement a simulation-based methodology that models adversarial threat scenarios and tests agentic AI responses within a defined experimental period, using performance and ethical indicators as measurable outputs.
iii. To construct a multi-criteria evaluation framework that defines and measures agentic system performance in terms of transparency, latency, proportionality, and normative alignment, validated through simulated test cases in the second phase.
iv. To propose and validate a governance and ethical oversight model for agentic AI deployment, incorporating regulatory review, stakeholder auditability, and normative safeguards by the final phase of the project, following empirical evaluation.
