Dynamic defense strategy against advanced persistent threat under heterogeneous networks

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) pose a grave threat in cyberspace because of their long latency and concealment. In this paper, we propose a hybrid strategy game-based dynamic defense model to optimally allocate constrained secure resources for the target network. In addition, values of profits of players in this game are computed by a novel data-fusion method called NetF. Based on network protocols and log documents, the NetF deciphers data...
