Shouhuai Xu

TL;DR
Cybersecurity Dynamics introduces a holistic framework for modeling and analyzing attack-defense interactions in cyberspace to understand and manage the evolution of cybersecurity states.
Contribution
It establishes a foundational framework for the science of cybersecurity focusing on attack-defense dynamics and provides a systematic review and research roadmap.
Findings
Developed a comprehensive model of attack-defense interactions.
Identified key technical barriers and research axes.
Proposed a roadmap for future research in cybersecurity dynamics.
Abstract
Cybersecurity Dynamics is new concept that aims to achieve the modeling, analysis, quantification, and management of cybersecurity from a holistic perspective, rather than from a building-blocks perspective. It is centered at modeling and analyzing the attack-defense interactions in cyberspace, which cause a ``natural'' phenomenon -- the evolution of the global cybersecurity state. In this Chapter, we systematically introduce and review the Cybersecurity Dynamics foundation for the Science of Cybersecurity. We review the core concepts, technical approaches, research axes, and results that have been obtained in this endeavor. We outline a research roadmap towards the ultimate research goal, including a systematic set of technical barriers.
