Integration of cyber deception methods into bimatrix games for optimizing information system protection strategies

Source abstract

The article proposes an extension of the classical bimatrix model of countermeasures between a security administrator and an attacker by including cyber deception technology. It is shown that the purposeful formation of a distorted perception of the payment matrix in the attacker allows the administrator to shift the Nash equilibrium towards more favorable outcomes for him. The problem of optimizing the choice of protection strategies and disinformation parameters is formulated, taking into account the costs of implementing cyber deception tools.
