Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) can compile weighted graphs on natural language data to enable automatic coherence-driven inference (CDI) relevant to red and blue team operations in cybersecurity. This represents an early application of automatic CDI that holds near- to medium-term promise for decision-making in cybersecurity and eventually also for autonomous blue team operations.
