Purpose and goal
GRACE (Graph-Reasoning Agents and Cyber-range Evaluation), aims to develop autonomous AI agents capable of analyzing complex computing environments and simulating attacks to identify exposures before they can be exploited. By integrating this technology into the Cybercampus national training facility, the results will also bolster national cyber defense capabilities on a broad scale.
Expected effects and result
The GRACE project develops autonomous AI agents for intelligent decision support against AI-enhanced cyberattacks. These agents analyze and simulate attacks to identify vulnerabilities in real time. The expected outcomes include a strengthened national cyber defense capability through Cybercampus, a new industry standard, and the industrialization of defensive methods.
Planned approach and implementation
The GRACE project (2026–2028) with Nordsnipe, Cparta, and KTH/Cybercampus gives autonomous defense systems an advantage against cyberattacks. Through an internal system map, AI agents find relevant vulnerabilities faster than an attacker. Development takes place in a digital training environment (Cyber Range). The goal is to translate results into operational services, disseminate knowledge, and train experts. The project is flexible and independent of specific AI technology.
