Existing RL-based attacker models do not incorporate realistic operational constraints (such as local persistence, entry commitment, or stealth-speed trade-offs) when learning attack policies, limiting their ability to reflect actual adversarial behavior observed in CTI.

No framework currently maps real-world attack behaviors from Cyber Threat Intelligence into domain-specific languages (DSLs) or attack graphs for use in RL/IL training, nor evaluates learned models on their ability to reproduce CTI-derived attack traces in simulation.

The explainability of learned attacker models remains unaddressed in the context of CTI-grounded attack simulation; existing explainability frameworks for RL agents do not connect learned policies back to observed threat intelligence patterns or validate whether learned behaviors match real adversarial tactics.
