Abstract

Situational awareness is significant for cyber security, which can help researchers and security analysts obtain the network security situation comprehensively and accurately. Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attack could cause severe consequences to cyberspace and detecting such attacks have become a very important part of cyber security situational awareness. Some APT attacks may belong to a same group, many countries and organizations have established databases for APT groups, such as adopting knowledge graph (KG) to represent the knowledge. However, cyberspace security knowledge varies by temporal and spatial characteristics, such as the attack technologies are updated very frequently, traditional KG cannot represent such knowledge timely. To address this problem, the MDATA (Multi-dimensional Data Association and inTelligent Analysis) model is proposed in [1], which is a supplement and improvement to traditional KG. In this paper, we introduce an APT group knowledge model based on MDATA, which adds spatial-temporal characteristics of the APT groups. We also analyze how this knowledge model could help address the challenges of APT attack awareness.
