用多智能体框架动态检测勒索软件,自动区分高危与可疑行为。
Agentic SABRE: An Uncertainty-Aware Neuro-Symbolic Multi-Agent Framework for Adaptive Ransomware Detection

- 融合语义与行为数据,通过不确定性感知实现自适应检测。
- 在两个数据集上达到AUC=1.0,误报率降低4.9%且保持预测可靠性。
- 支持可解释性分析,适合安全团队需人工复核的场景。
勒索软件已演变为复杂、自适应且快速变化的威胁类别,静态特征和单一分类器难以应对概念漂移、规避攻击与行为多态性。本文提出Agentic SABRE(语义-行为仲裁用于勒索软件评估),一种具备不确定性感知的神经符号多智能体框架,用于自适应勒索软件检测。SABRE融合语义证据与时间窗行为日志,并采用蒙特卡洛丢弃推理量化每个智能体的主观不确定性。引入决策层调度器,基于风险评分与不确定性预算两个可解释阈值进行风险分级:高置信度高风险样本自动隔离,不确定或临界样本则转交人工分析,建立自主响应与人工监督间的灵活计算契约。为增强可审计性与信任度,集成梯度显著性、置换重要性及反事实分析等后处理可解释机制,支持局部与全局决策解释。在RDset与RanSMAP数据集上的广泛评估表明,Agentic SABRE在饱和语义数据集上保持完美判别能力(AUC=1.0),并在弱行为信号下提升鲁棒性;在相同召回率下,误报升级减少达4.9%,同时维持校准的预测不确定性。反事实分析进一步显示,语义与行为决策可通过有限扰动逆转,表明决策边界稳定且可解释。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ransomware has evolved into a complex, adaptive, and fast-moving adversary category in which static signatures and monolithic classifiers fail to generalise under concept drift, evasion, and behavioural polymorphism. In this paper, we present Agentic SABRE (Semantic-Behavioural Arbitration for Ransomware Evaluation), an uncertainty-aware, neuro-symbolic, multi-agent framework for adaptive ransomware detection. SABRE fuses semantic, representation-based evidence with behavioural, time-window forensic telemetry and employs Monte Carlo Dropout inference to quantify epistemic uncertainty for each agent. We introduce a decision-layer orchestrator that performs risk- and uncertainty-aware triage using two interpretable thresholds: a risk score and an uncertainty budget. High-confidence, high-risk samples are automatically contained, while uncertain or borderline cases are escalated to human analysts, establishing a flexible computational contract between autonomous response and analyst oversight. To support auditability and trust, SABRE integrates post-hoc explainability mechanisms, including gradient saliency, permutation importance, and counterfactual analysis, enabling both local and global interpretation of agent decisions. Extensive evaluation on RDset and RanSMAP demonstrates that Agentic SABRE preserves perfect discrimination on saturated semantic datasets, with AUC equal to 1.0, while improving robustness under weak behavioural signals. It achieves up to a 4.9 percent relative reduction in false escalations at equal recall while maintaining calibrated predictive uncertainty. Counterfactual analysis further shows that semantic and behavioural decisions can be reversed with bounded perturbation cost, indicating stable and interpretable decision boundaries.
