An active cyber defense model for use in cyber deception technology

In recent years, the violation of the privacy of information and communication networks, which are more commonly known as cyber attacks, has been increasing exponentially. These network breaches range from direct attacks on government infrastructure to populist activism and theft. This trend has increased the social and political awareness of users. Active cyber defense is a mechanism to protect computer devices, networks and digital devices against cyber attacks and destructive intrusions. The function of active cyber defense is to actively seek to infiltrate or engage with the perpetrators of cyber incidents. The reaction of the defenders has always caused an imbalance between their activities and the attackers. Attackers have always used the network as a platform to strengthen their attacks to increase the intensity of attacks. In this study, we have used Markov model to model and show the inherent difference in the performance of users and network intruders, with the difference that the proposed model was different with the automatic patch and Moran trend and was more similar to the voter model. The proposed dynamic system model is based on the field average approximation, which purposefully determines the performance of active cyber defense. The imbalance between defenders and attackers in this proposed model is eliminated and according to the proposed dynamics and network conditions, we have provided a platform for the interaction of defenders and attackers to examine the performance of power functions in different situations. In the simulation, the performance of attackers and defenders was examined and according to the results obtained in the diagrams mentioned in the final part of the article, it was shown how to use active cyber defense at the right time so that we can use this defensive approach in the right situation.
