A new study published on arXiv investigates the impact of predicate representation granularity in automated attack chain generation for cybersecurity. Researchers compared a nine-category taxonomy used by systems like AURORA against a reduced five-category scheme derived from Atomic Red Team (ART) execution evidence. Using the Fast Downward planning engine, the study found that while most generated attack chains were valid across both schemes, the finer granularity primarily enhanced the internal structural resolution of a plan's justification rather than its overall viability.

IMPACT Findings suggest that while detailed predicate representation can improve plan justification, it may not significantly enhance the operational success of generated cyber attack chains.
