Markov Decision Process For Automatic Cyber Defense. (arXiv:2207.05436v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

It is challenging for a security analyst to detect or defend against
cyber-attacks. Moreover, traditional defense deployment methods require the
security analyst to manually enforce the defenses in the presence of
uncertainties about the defense to deploy. As a result, it is essential to
develop an automated and resilient defense deployment mechanism to thwart the
new generation of attacks. In this paper, we propose a framework based on
Markov Decision Process (MDP) and Q-learning to automatically generate optimal
defense solutions …
