MANAGING DYNAMIC DECEPTIVE ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A deception management system to detect attackers within a dynamically changing network, including a deployment governor dynamically designating a deception policy that includes one or more decoy attack vectors, one or more resources of the network in which the decoy attack vectors are generated, and a schedule for generating the decoy attack vectors in the resources, wherein an attack vector is an object in a first resource that may be used by an attacker to access or discover a second resource, and wherein the network of resources is dynamically changing, a deception deployer dynamically generating decoy attack vectors on resources in the network, in accordance with the current deception policy, a deception adaptor dynamically extracting characteristics of the network, and a deception diversifier dynamically triggering changes in the deception policy based on changes in the network as detected from the network characteristics extracted by the deception adaptor.

1. A deception management system (DMS) to detect attackers within a dynamically changing network of resources, comprising:
a deployment governor dynamically designating a deception policy that comprises one or more decoy attack vectors, one or more resources of a network in which the one or more decoy attack vectors are generated, and a schedule for generating the one or more decoy attack vectors in the one or more resources, wherein an attack vector is an object in a first resource that may be used by an attacker to access or discover a second resource, and wherein the network of resources is dynamically changing; a deception deployer dynamically generating one or more decoy attack vectors in one or more resources in the network, in accordance with the current deception policy; a deception adaptor dynamically extracting characteristics of the network; and a deception diversifier dynamically triggering changes in the deception policy based on changes in the network as detected from the network characteristics extracted by said deception adaptor.
