 "lane": "defense",
 "kind": "competition",
 "summary": "CAGE Challenge 4, run under The Technical Cooperation Program, asks entrants to build five cooperating blue-team agents that defend a segmented fictional military network against randomized red agents while green agents generate legitimate activity. The challenge ran from February to May 2024 in the CybORG simulator, scored by mean reward over 100 randomized 500-step episodes, and the environment remains public.",
 "whyItMatters": "CAGE 4 is a shared, reproducible environment that later work, including LLM-agent defenders, uses to compare defensive agents.",
