Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the need for dynamic and adaptive security solutions has become paramount. This paper presents a novel firewall architecture that integrates reinforcement learning (RL) with large language models (LLMs) to enhance the synthesis of unique security policies tailored to specific network environments. By employing RL techniques, the architecture learns from real-time network traffic, adapting its defense mechanisms in response to emerging threats. Simultaneously, LLMs facilitate the interpretation and generation of security policies, allowing for a more intuitive interaction between security analysts and the system. The proposed architecture is evaluated through extensive simulations, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing false positives and improving threat detection rates compared to traditional firewall systems. Our findings suggest that the synergy between RL and LLMs not only fosters more robust security postures but also streamlines the policy management process, offering a promising direction for future research in adaptive cybersecurity solutions.
