arXiv:2607.05888v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: i-EXAM is a planning-powered tool that helps system administrators to create security profiles of complex networks and perform what-if analyses to identify network hardening strategies. It leverages planning compilation that provides soundness and completeness guarantees to identify attack paths, evaluate security metrics, generate diverse hardening strategies, and explain these strategies in natural language using Large Language Models.
The increasing complexity of network security and the rise of sophisticated cyber threats necessitate more advanced, automated, and explainable tools for cybersecurity management.
This tool offers system administrators a powerful capability to proactively model and harden network security, reducing vulnerabilities and improving resilience against cyberattacks.
Security professionals can now leverage AI-powered planning and LLMs to create comprehensive security profiles, perform 'what-if' analyses, and generate understandable hardening strategies more efficiently.

- · Organizations with complex networks
- · AI/ML cybersecurity solution providers
- · Malicious cyber actors
- · Traditional, manual network security auditing methods
System administrators can more effectively identify and mitigate attack paths within their networks.
The widespread adoption of such tools could lead to a significant increase in overall network security resilience across industries.
This could contribute to an arms race in cyber defense, where organizations' security posture advances rapidly, challenging attackers to innovate faster.
