Mirage: Cyber Deception Against Autonomous Cyber Attacks

...In this presentation, we will address a future cyber adversary whose actions and decisions are entirely controlled by an autonomous system (AI). This autonomous system uses automated planning algorithms and search techniques to drive its cyber-attack operations and achieve the desired objective(s). Given such a scenario, we ask: (1) can novel cyber deceptions be constructed and deployed in such a manner as to directly target weaknesses in the automated planning and search techniques; and (2) can an effective emulation system …
