Towards a Secure Fog-Computing Cyber Space: A Bayesian Game-Theoretic Risk Management Framework

Abstract

Cyber security is one of the most difficult and fast-growing concerns today's enterprises are focusing on. The practice of reducing potentially damaging and unknown events that pose a danger to cyber security is known as cyber security risk management. The Game Theoretic Approach is a popular cyber security risk or threat management strategy (GTA). This study provides a paradigm for cybersecurity risk or threat handling based on a game-theoretic approach to Fog computing, which will encourage proactive cyber risk management and improve cyber-operational efficiency/effectiveness. The method is written in such a way that the PyQt4 framework acts as a shield for the Fog server, performing inline packet inspection and logging any malicious packets to the console and a database on the server using Snort. The study proposes a Bayesian game model for risk management in the cyber domain.
