Description
Summary:To predict the attack behaviors accurately and comprehensively as well as to quantify the threat of attack,a quantitative method for network security situation based on attack prediction was proposed.By fusing the situation factors of attacker,defender and network environment,the capability of attacker and the exploitability rate of vulnerability were evaluated utilizing the real-time detected attack events,and the expected time-cost for attack-defense were further calculated.Then an attack prediction algorithm based on the dynamic Bayesian attack graph was designed to infer the follow-up attack actions.At last,the attack threat was quantified as the security risk situation from two levels of the hosts and the overall network.Experimental analysis indicates that the proposed method is suitable for the real adversarial network environment,and is able to predict the occurrence time of attack accurately and quantify the attack threat reasonably.
