Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Information Security"

DOI: 10.1007/s10207-024-00856-6

Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are stealthy, multi-step attacks tailored to a specific target. Often described as ’low and slow’, APTs remain undetected until the consequences of the cyber-attack become evident, usually in the form of… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Connection Science"

DOI: 10.1080/09540091.2020.1832960

Abstract: The expansion of information technology infrastructure is encountered with Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which can launch data destruction, disclosure, modification, and/or Denial of Service attacks by drawing upon vulnerabilities of software and hardware. Moving Target… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "IEEE Access"

DOI: 10.1109/access.2017.2691326

Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) represent stealthy, powerful, long-term, and well-funded attacks against cyber systems, such as data centers and cloud storage. Evolutionary game theory is used to capture the long-term continuous behavior of the APTs… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security"

DOI: 10.1109/tifs.2022.3229595

Abstract: Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are one of today’s major threats to cyber security. Highly determined attackers along with novel and evasive exfiltration techniques mean APT attacks elude most intrusion detection and prevention systems. The result… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management"

DOI: 10.1109/tnsm.2021.3056999

Abstract: Defenders fighting against Advanced Persistent Threats need to discover the propagation area of an adversary as quickly as possible. This discovery takes place through a phase of an incident response operation called Threat Hunting, where… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management"

DOI: 10.1109/tnsm.2021.3117698

Abstract: Defensive deception techniques have emerged as a promising proactive defense mechanism to mislead an attacker and thereby achieve attack failure. However, most game-theoretic defensive deception approaches have assumed that players maintain consistent views under uncertainty.… read more here.
