Evidential Cyber Threat Hunting
arXiv:2104.10319
Abstract
A formal cyber reasoning framework for automating the threat hunting process is described. The new cyber reasoning methodology introduces an operational semantics that operates over three subspaces -- knowledge, hypothesis, and action -- to enable human-machine co-creation of threat hypotheses and protective recommendations. An implementation of this framework shows that the approach is practical and can be used to generalize evidence-based multi-criteria threat investigations.
