Abstract The increase in number of people using the Internet leads to increased cyberattack opportunities. Advanced Persistent Threats, or APTs, are among the most dangerous targeted cyberattacks. APT attacks utilize various advanced tools and techniques for attacking targets with specific goals. Even countries with advanced technologies, like the US, Russia, the UK, and India, are susceptible to this targeted attack. APT is a sophisticated attack that involves multiple stages and specific strategies. Besides, TTP (Tools, Techniques, and Procedures) involved in the APT attack are commonly new and developed by an attacker to evade the security system.… More >

Abstract The detection of cyber threats has recently been a crucial research domain as the internet and data drive people’s livelihood. Several cyber-attacks lead to the compromise of data security. The proposed system offers complete data protection from Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks with attack detection and defence mechanisms. The modified lateral movement detection algorithm detects the APT attacks, while the defence is achieved by the Dynamic Deception system that makes use of the belief update algorithm. Before termination, every cyber-attack undergoes multiple stages, with the most prominent stage being Lateral Movement (LM). The LM uses… More >

Abstract The number of cybersecurity incidents is on the rise despite significant investment in security measures. The existing conventional security approaches have demonstrated limited success against some of the more complex cyber-attacks. This is primarily due to the sophistication of the attacks and the availability of powerful tools. Interconnected devices such as the Internet of Things (IoT) are also increasing attack exposures due to the increase in vulnerabilities. Over the last few years, we have seen a trend moving towards embracing edge technologies to harness the power of IoT devices and 5G networks. Edge technology brings… More >
