Distributed and parallel applications are critical information technology systems in multiple industries, including academia, military, government, financial, medical, and transportation. These applications present target rich environments for malicious attackers seeking to disrupt the confidentiality, integrity and availability of these systems. Applying the military concept of defense cyber maneuver to these systems can provide protection and defense mechanisms that allow survivability and operational continuity. Understanding the tradeoffs between information systems security and operational performance when applying maneuver principles is of interest to administrators, users, and researchers. To this end, we present a model of a defensive maneuver cyber platform using Stochastic Petri Nets. This model enables the understanding and evaluation of the costs and benefits of maneuverability in a distributed application environment, specifically focusing on moving target defense and deceptive defense strategies.

“…The concept of mind maps is leveraged by the AOH-Map [97] software, which visualizes all the identified traces of an attack to exchange it with collaborating analysts. Hassell et al [163] combine network simulation with its visualization for optimizing its resilience against threats. Payer et al [164] rely on Virtual Reality (VR) to analyze threats, allowing new types of interactions.…”

With the advancement in cyber-defense capabilities, cyber attacks have continued to evolve like living creatures to breach security. Assuming the possibility of various enemy attacks, it is necessary to select an appropriate course of action by proactively analyzing and predicting the consequences of a particular security event. Cyber attacks, especially in large-scale military network environments, have a fatal effect on security; therefore, various experiments and analyses must be conducted to establish the necessary preparations. Herein, we propose a hierarchical multi-stage cyber attack scenario modeling based on the goal and effect (G&E) model and analysis system, which enables expression of various goals of attack and damage effects without being limited to specific type. The proposed method is applicable to large-scale networks and can be utilized in various scenario-based cyber combat experiments.
