This book presents a compendium of selected game- and
decision-theoretic models to achieve and assess the security of
critical infrastructures. Given contemporary reports on security
incidents of various kinds, we can see a paradigm shift to attacks
of an increasingly heterogeneous nature, combining different
techniques into what we know as an advanced persistent threat.
Security precautions must match these diverse threat patterns in an
equally diverse manner; in response, this book provides a wealth of
techniques for protection and mitigation. Much traditional security
research has a narrow focus on specific attack scenarios or
applications, and strives to make an attack "practically
impossible." A more recent approach to security views it as a
scenario in which the cost of an attack exceeds the potential
reward. This does not rule out the possibility of an attack but
minimizes its likelihood to the least possible risk. The book
follows this economic definition of security, offering a management
scientific view that seeks a balance between security investments
and their resulting benefits. It focuses on optimization of
resources in light of threats such as terrorism and advanced
persistent threats. Drawing on the authors' experience and inspired
by real case studies, the book provides a systematic approach to
critical infrastructure security and resilience. Presenting a
mixture of theoretical work and practical success stories, the book
is chiefly intended for students and practitioners seeking an
introduction to game- and decision-theoretic techniques for
security. The required mathematical concepts are self-contained,
rigorously introduced, and illustrated by case studies. The book
also provides software tools that help guide readers in the
practical use of the scientific models and computational
frameworks.
