New Regret-Weighted Payoff Sampling method improves Nash equilibrium computation for cybersecurity games

Researchers have developed a new method called Regret-Weighted Payoff Sampling (RWPS) to more efficiently compute Nash equilibria in cybersecurity games. This technique addresses the bottleneck of payoff estimation by strategically simulating only the most relevant game cells and using a surrogate model for the rest. RWPS has demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods on various games and cyber simulators, particularly at smaller computational budgets. AI

    Efficient Nash Equilibrium Computation for Cybersecurity Games

    arXiv:2609.19399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computing Nash equilibria of simulation-based cybersecurity games with policy-space response oracles (PSRO) is bottlenecked by payoff estimation: every payoff-matrix entry costs Monte-Carlo rollouts of a slow simulator, while poli…
