Optimal Resource Allocation in Cyber-Security: A Game Theoretic Approach
Abderrahmane Sokri · Procedia Computer Science · 2018
The increased reliance on the information and communication technologies has drastically changed the definition of security and the nature of war. Many critical infrastructures such as airports, hospitals, and oil pipelines have become potentially vulnerable to intentional cyber-attacks. A growing body of literature recognizes game theory as a sound theoretical foundation for modeling the strategic interactions between attackers and defenders. This paper explores the main challenging issues in the application of security games in cyberspace. A new game formulation combining simulation and game-theoretic approaches is proposed and illustrated.
