Abstract

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are the new type of cyber attacks that have drastically change the information security landscape. They seek to gather very sensitive information from specific and high-level objectives. The great majority of security tools do not allow handling such an intrusion in a proper way. Consequently, this study aims to analyze its behavior in order to design an agent-based model to simulate the APT cycle of life.
