A Bio-Inspired Reaction Against Cyberattacks: AIS-Powered Optimal Countermeasures Selection

Abstract: Nowadays, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures play a crucial role for human beings, providing essential services at astonishing speed. Nevertheless, such a centrality of those infrastructures attracts the interest of ill-motivated actors that target such infrastructures with cyberattacks that are every day more sophisticated and more disruptive. In this alarming context, selecting the optimal set of countermeasures represents a primary need to react against the appearance of potentia… Show more

“…In this sense, several attack models have been proposed in the literature so far, and some of them already integrate the Attack Trees representation adding countermeasures (e.g., Attack Countermeasures Trees [48], Attack Response Trees [49], etc.). Thus, ChaosXploit may incorporate those representations in the Knowledge base and select the optimal reaction to fire against the threat based on specific criteria [50]. Moreover, the performance of ChaosXploit should be further evaluated to prove its usefulness in performance-demanding or critical scenarios.…”

“…Many researchers apply approximate bio-inspired solutions like GAs to approach this problem. In [16], the authors proposed an AIS to select countermeasures to defeat cyberattacks through cloning and mutation phases. They, however, suggested a context-aware stop condition based on experimental outcomes and authors' subjective beliefs.…”
