 "lane": "defense",
 "kind": "paper",
 "summary": "A systematic review in ACM Computing Surveys covers autonomous blue- and red-team agents and cyber operations environments, and proposes criteria for judging whether autonomous network defence is ready for real deployment. It identifies gaps in explainability, continual learning under evolving threats, and realistic training environments.",
 "whyItMatters": "It is a reference synthesis for what evidence would be needed before letting autonomous defenders act on live networks.",
