Towards Intelligent Cyber Deception Systems

Abstract

The increasingly sophisticated nature of cyberattacks reduces the effectiveness of expert human intervention due to their slow response times. Consequently, interest in automated agents that can make intelligent decisions and plan countermeasures is rapidly growing. In this chapter, we discuss intelligent cyber deception systems. Such systems can dynamically plan the deception strategy and use several actuators to effectively implement the cyber deception measures. We also present a prototype of a framework designed to simplify the development of cyber deception tools to be integrated with such intelligent agents
