Autonomous Cyber Operations (ACO) involves the development of blue team (defender) and red team (attacker) decision-making agents in adversarial scenarios. To support the application of machine learning algorithms to solve this problem, and to encourage researchers in this field to attend to problems in the ACO setting, we introduce CybORG, a work-in-progress gym for ACO research. CybORG features a simulation and emulation environment with a common interface to facilitate the rapid training of autonomous agents that can then be tested on real-world systems. Initial testing demonstrates the feasibility of this approach.
