The Cyber Security Learning Environment (CSLE)

Feb 5, 2021 | Data Science

The Cyber Security Learning Environment (CSLE) is an innovative platform crafted specifically for evaluating and developing reinforcement learning agents targeting control problems in the dynamic field of cybersecurity. Think of it as a high-tech playground where AI and cyber protection converge to train our digital defenders.

Main Features

  • Emulation System:

    CSLE includes a solution for emulating extensive IT infrastructures, cyber-attacks, and client populations. This system, based on Linux containers, facilitates the collection of traces and the evaluation of security policies.

    Note: The emulation system is primarily designed for distributed systems, such as compute clusters. It can operate on a laptop, but only small-scale emulations are feasible.

  • Simulation System:

    Here, we execute reinforcement learning algorithms and simulate Markov decision processes and games. Built in Python, it can seamlessly integrate with established machine learning libraries.

    Note: The simulations are compatible with OpenAI Gym, allowing you to integrate your solutions with existing reinforcement learning implementations.

  • Management System:

    This system enables the efficient management of both emulation and simulation processes, accessible via Command-Line Interface (CLI), REST API, Python libraries, or a web interface. The management capabilities include:

    • Starting and stopping emulations/simulations.
    • Real-time monitoring of processes.
    • Shell access to emulation components.
