Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) reports are predominantly unstructured, heterogeneous, and noisy, which limits their direct usability for automated analysis and reasoning. Cybersecurity Knowledge Graphs (CSKGs) provide a structured representation of adversarial entities, actions, and relations, but constructing such graphs from free-text CTI remains a challenge. Recent approaches rely on monolithic Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform end-to-end extraction and completion, leading to high cost, limited controllability, and unstable performance. This paper introduces TACTIC-KG, an agentic framework for CSKG construction that decomposes the task into modular, specialized LLM agents responsible for extraction, typing, verification, and curation. Using lightweight models (3B--8B), TACTIC-KG improves stability, recall, and graph consistency while reducing deployment cost. We implement and evaluate TACTIC-KG against recent state-of-the-art systems. Experiments on human-annotated CTI reports show that agent specialization consistently outperforms larger monolithic in-context-learning (ICL) baselines in extraction F1-score, typing accuracy, and structural graph similarity.
Hardening IT on-premises environments can be a daunting task for teams without access to adequate cybersecurity expertise. In this regard, Decision Support Systems (DSS) with embedded expert knowledge can assist users by guiding them with security recommendations to meet their ob…
Large language model (LLM) based multi-agent systems enable complex problem solving through coordinated reasoning and action, but their distributed structure also introduces new challenges in diagnosing system-level failures. When an execution fails, identifying which agent is re…
Self-improving AI systems typically treat the agent as the object that improves, by optimizing prompts, workflows, harnesses, or even the agent's own code. This agent-centric view can make improvements expensive to maintain and difficult to transfer, because gains become tied to…
Large generative models across text-to-text, text-to-image, and image-to-text modalities have been shown to pose significant privacy risks. One fundamental threat is membership inference attacks (MIA), which aim to determine whether a given data point was used in a model's traini…
Agentic AI systems are reshaping communications and networking by deploying autonomous intelligent agents capable of collaborative learning while maintaining data privacy at network edges. Within distributed network environments, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) serve as…
LLM-based browser agents are rapidly changing the threat landscape for web security. Unlike traditional automation frameworks that execute predefined scripts, these agents can autonomously navigate websites, reason about page content, and interact with web interfaces using natura…
