contents The growing system complexity from microservice architectures and the bilateral enhancement of artificial intelligence (AI) for both attackers and defenders presents increasing security challenges for cloud-native operations. In particular, cloud-native operators require a holistic view of the dynamic security posture for the cloud-native environment from a defense aspect. Additionally, both attackers and defenders can adopt advanced AI technologies. This makes the dynamic interaction and benchmark among different intelligent offense and defense strategies more crucial. Hence, following the multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (RL) paradigm, this research develops an agent-based intelligent security service framework (ISSF) for cloud-native operation. It includes a dynamic access graph model to represent the cloud-native environment and an action model to represent offense and defense actions. Then we develop an approach to enable the training, publishing, and evaluating of intelligent security services using diverse deep RL algorithms and training strategies, facilitating their systematic development and benchmark. The experiments demonstrate that our framework can sufficiently model the security posture of a cloud-native system for defenders, effectively develop and quantitatively benchmark different services for both attackers and defenders and guide further service optimization.
