A Solution to Reduce the Traffic Load of Cyber Attacks in Security and Defense Systems Using Interactive Distribution

With the increase in using cyber space in organizations, cyber-attacks specially DDOS attacks by malware and intruders have increased. According to limits that do not allow the terms of a cyber attack to be created in organizations, in addition to providing information about systems at the time of the attack, using simulation provides the possibility of a wide variety of attacks with different sizes. Agent-based modeling and simulation is a method for simulating systems comprised of different agents. In this article, in addition to describing the concepts and features of the agentbased modeling and simulation and DDOS attack, the necessary conditions to examine the various scenarios of distributed interactive and non-interactive cyber attack and defense and evaluation of its performance is provided. The results show that the Defense Distributed Interactive has a better performance than non-interactive mode and the load at the time of the attack is reduced to an average of 15 percent. This reduction of traffic load is due to interaction of defence agents with each other that subsequently increases the defense capability of agents when the attack occurs.
