Abstract
Due to environmental variations and system fluctuations, the defender often faces a dynamic security competition against the attacker in practice, and two common challenges exist in addressing these dynamic security games: (1) how to deal with the intelligent attacker that may change its strategy based on the deployed defense, and (2) how to properly align the defense strategy with the environmental or system dynamics to achieve the most efficient and effective defense. In literature, the SG framework reviewed in the previous chapter has been considered as a promising mathematical tool to jointly overcome these two challenges and guide the defender towards the best possible defense. In this chapter, a brief survey of the recent efforts in this direction is provided. Specifically, the applications of the SG in addressing security issues in cyber networks, wireless communication networks, and cyber-physical networks are presented, respectively.
