Patent ID: 11418533

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing computer security analysis are described. In some implementations, a system providing computer security analysis comprises one or more processors coupled to a non-transitory computer readable storage having software instructions stored thereon configured to cause the one or more processors to: perform a Markov Decision Process (MDP) as part of a cyber-attack mechanism and a Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) process as part of a cyber-defense mechanism, preferably, the cyber-attack and cyber-defense system is modeled as MDP whereas the security analyst SA is modeled as DTMC; synchronize the cyber-attack mechanism with the cyber-defense mechanism through an attack-defense synchronization action; and synchronize an update action, wherein the attack-defense synchronization action includes initiating the DTMC process, and wherein the synchronization of the update action results from one or more actions taken by the DTMC process.
