Abstract:The evolution of advanced persistent threats (APTs) spurs us to explore computational models of coevolutionary dynamics arising from efforts to secure cyber systems from them. In a first for evolutionary algorithms, we incorporate known threats and vulnerabilities into a stylized "competition" that pits cyber attack patterns against mitigations. Variations of attack patterns that are drawn from the public CAPEC catalog offering Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classifications. Mitigations take two forms: … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
