A Multi-Agent GenAI Framework for Ethical Cloud Security Automation

Abstract

A multi-agent GenAI architecture is introduced to support the automation of ethical cloud security, solving the problem of scalability or adaptability, and compliance in dynamic cloud environments. This framework combines dedicated generative agents such as policy analysts, threat detectors, remediation organizers, and auditor agents which interact via common knowledge graph and can be explained by a decision log. The agents utilize context-based prompt generation, generation constraints, provenance management, and generation to generate security policies, anomaly detection, provide automated mitigation, and maintain human-in-the-loop control. Some of the ethical protections are bias audits, privacy-sensitive learning, least-privilege enforcement, and policy verifiability, to warrant the correctness of the decisions taken in compliance with regulatory or organizational limits. Testing with representative cloud work lines shows that there is shorter energy on discerning and correcting occurrences, elevated coverage of controls and signs when the automated actions are traced. The framework enables adjustable levels of trust and escalation measures to accommodate the autonomy versus governance. The method fosters usage of GenAI to deal with cloud security by offering modular agents, verifiable ethics controls, metrics-based assessment, hence fostering responsible automation that is also transparent, auditable, and considers changing threats.
