Development of decision support system based on feature matrix for cyber threat assessment
Abstract
The article herein presents the method and algorithms
for forming the feature space for the base of intellectualized
system knowledge for the support system in the cyber threats
and anomalies tasks. The system being elaborated might be used
both autonomously by cyber threat services analysts and jointly
with information protection complex systems. It is shown, that advised
algorithms allow supplementing dynamically the knowledge
base upon appearing the new threats, which permits to cut the
time of their recognition and analysis, in particular, for cases of
hard-to-explain features and reduce the false responses in threat
recognizing systems, anomalies and attacks at informatization
objects. It is stated herein, that collectively with the outcomes of
previous authors investigations, the offered algorithms of forming
the feature space for identifying cyber threats within decisions
making support system are more effective. It is reached at the
expense of the fact, that, comparing to existing decisions, the
described decisions in the article, allow separate considering the
task of threat recognition in the frame of the known classes, and
if necessary supplementing feature space for the new threat types.
It is demonstrated, that new threats features often initially are
not identified within the frame of existing base of threat classes
knowledge in the decision support system. As well the methods
and advised algorithms allow fulfilling the time-efficient cyber
threats classification for a definite informatization object.
