TopoIntent is a system that compiles security intent into executable, compliance-checked network topologies. It uses a schema contract to constrain generation, retrieves reference architectures from a curated template library via dense-vector search, and applies staged fusion for intent-template alignment and security completion. The generated topology is checked against CIS Controls v8.1.2 safeguards visible at the topology layer, while unresolved cases are marked for manual review. Structural gaps are repaired through additive schema-preserving edits. The final topology is exported to Mininet scripts with kernel-level iptables ACLs, enabling executable reachability and allow/deny tests. Because no public benchmark exists for this requirement-to-topology task, we construct an evaluation set from reference security architecture diagrams. The retrieval set contains 22 templates and 44 synthetic intents across five scenarios, while the held-out set contains 7 templates and 14 intents from finance and government scenarios excluded from retrieval. On the held-out set, additive repair improves topology-visible CIS satisfaction from 0.78 to 1.00 in fewer than 1.5 rounds on average, and one feedback round raises the post-ACL policy pass rate from 0.78 to 0.88. Blogger's Review: TopoIntent is an innovative system that compiles security intent into executable network topologies with compliance checking and repair capabilities. This system can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of network security, with a wide range of applications.
