构建评估多智能体AI蓝队能力的基准，推动更自主的网络安全运营中心。

As Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-agent AI systems are demonstrating increasing potential in cybersecurity operations, organizations, policymakers, model providers, and researchers in the AI and cybersecurity communities are interested in quantifying the capabilities of such AI systems to achieve more autonomous SOCs (security operation centers) and reduce manual effort. In particular, the AI and cybersecurity communities have recently developed several benchmarks for evaluating the red team capabilities of multi-agent AI systems. However, because the operations in SOCs are dominated by blue team operations, the capabilities of AI systems & agents to achieve more autonomous SOCs cannot be evaluated without a benchmark focused on blue team operations. To our best knowledge, no systematic benchmark for evaluating coordinated multi-task blue team AI has been proposed in the literature. Existing blue team benchmarks focus on a particular task. The goal of this work is to develop a set of design principles for the construction of a benchmark, which is denoted as SOC-bench, to evaluate the blue team capabilities of AI. Following these design principles, we have developed a conceptual design of SOC-bench, which consists of a family of five blue team tasks in the context of large-scale ransomware attack incident response.
