A Context-Based Detection Framework for Advanced Persistent Threats
Paul Giura, Wei Wang · 2012
Besides a large set of malware categories such as worms and Trojan horses, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is another more sophisticated attack entity emerging in the cyber threats environment. In this paper we propose a model of the APT detection problem as well as a methodology to implement it on a generic organization network. From our knowledge, the proposed method is the first to address the problem of modeling an APT and to provide a possible detection framework.
