MAPSEC

Multi-Agentic Program for Security and Cyberdefense

Pioneering the future of autonomous cyber defense through collaborative AI.

About MAPSEC

The MAPSEC is an open-source initiative dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of collaborative, agent-based artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. Our goal is to investigate how intelligent, autonomous agents can effectively detect, respond to, and mitigate evolving cyber threats in real time through decentralized intelligence, adaptive behaviors, and cooperative strategies. As this is an emerging field with limited existing research, contributors will have the unique opportunity to push boundaries and pioneer innovative approaches in cybersecurity.

We are actively looking for contributors passionate about cybersecurity and Agentic AI. Ideal candidates should have foundational knowledge of cybersecurity and be enthusiastic about learning and applying Agentic AI. Whether you are a cybersecurity professional, an AI researcher, or a motivated student, this community-driven program provides opportunities to engage deeply with cutting-edge technologies, contribute to impactful open-source projects, and receive structured mentorship from cybersecurity PhDs. Contributors will benefit from direct guidance and mentorship from experts, helping them to develop valuable skills and expertise in this pioneering domain. Join us to shape the future of autonomous cybersecurity.
