A game theoretic model of targeting in cyberspace
Chenguang Zhang, Zeqing Yao · 2015
Targeting is the fundamental work in cyberspace operational plan. This paper investigates the basic tradeoffs and decision processes involved in cyber targeting and proposes a simple game theoretic model for cyberspace targeting to support operational plan. Then an optimal targeting strategy decision algorithm applying the game theoretic model is developed. The key component of this game theoretic model is its ability to predict equilibrium. The paper ends up with an example on showing how the game theoretic model supports targeting decision-making, which demonstrates the simplicity and effectiveness of this decision-making model.
