Evidential Cyber Threat Hunting

Abstract

A formal cyber reasoning framework for automating the threat hunting process is described. The new cyber reasoning methodology introduces an operational semantics that operates over three subspaces---knowledge, hypothesis, and action---to enable human-machine co-creation of threat hypotheses and protective recommendations. An implementation of this framework shows that the approach is practical and can be used to generalize evidence-based multi-criteria threat investigations.
