Resource-aware Cyber Deception for Microservice-based Applications

arXiv:2303.03151v4 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Cyber deception can be a valuable addition to traditional cyber defense mechanisms, especially for modern cloud-native environments with a fading security perimeter. However, pre-built decoys used in classical computer networks are not effective in detecting and mitigating malicious actors due to their inability to blend with the variety of applications in such environments. On the other hand, decoys cloning the deployed microservices of an application can offer a high-fidelity deception mechanism to intercept ongoing attacks …
