A Survey of Cyber Security Approaches for Prediction

This paper provides an overview of related prediction techniques used in the field of cyber security, and discusses three main types of cyber security prediction tasks: projection and intention recognition of multi-stage or persistent network attack, prediction of other network attacks, and network security situation forecasting. Attack intention recognition could analyze the attacker's attack intention, or predict the attacker's ultimate goal. The prediction of cyber attacks will discuss in more detail what kind of attack will happen when and where. Network security situation forecasting refers to the prediction of the global network security situation. This paper specifically studies the methods and implementation techniques to solve these tasks. In this survey, we find that although the implementation technologies of research topics with similar theoretical background are usually complementary, the application technologies of different research directions have different selection tendencies based on the specific situation of cyber security field.
