Sažetak
Paper deals with the design of the model of hybrid threats and cyber deception platform and solution for cyber threat detection. National networks face a broad range of cyber threats. It includes advanced and persistent peril that can evade commercially available detection tools and defeat generic security measures. Cyber attacks are becoming more intense and complex as they reflect an increasing level of sophistication, e. g. by advanced persistent threat (APT) activity. This environment of menace is of a global nature when transcending geographic boundaries and characterized by the emerging development of offensive cyber capabilities that are an inherent part of conflicts. Deception methods and techniques are being successfully employed by attackers to breach networks and remain undetected in the physical and in the virtual worlds. However, in the world of cyber security, deception as a tactic and element of a more robust defensive strategy has been still largely underexploited. The broad concepts of deception within cyber security were introduced decades ago. Still, these were technological solutions focused on providing technical capabilities to distract, mislead or misdirect the attacker. Only recently has the focus shifted on to how to shape the attackers’ sense-making of what is happening as they illegitimately explore networks. In this way, Cyber Deception nowadays provides an opportunity to scare, deter, and retaliate against those that violate organizations’ systems. In connection with the foregoing authors created and presented the novel model of hybrid threats in hybrid warfare as a combination of multiple conventional and unconventional tools of warfare. Authors investigate the cyber deception platform and industrial model and solution for threat detection using deception-based methods.
