Self-adaptive cyber deception and resilient network defense via adversarial environment simulation

The authors propose a proactive cyber-defense system that combines cyber deception, adversarial environment simulation and deep reinforcement learning, with GAN-generated attack vectors emulating zero-day and polymorphic threats. The aim is to train context-aware defense policies that detect malicious behavior, re-route detection vectors and trigger deceptive traps, evaluated with benign and adversarial traffic on a synthetic smart-grid network.
