Abstract
This paper uses game theory to model the strategies against the threats based on the cost.If the frequencies of threats occurrence are known, the optimal pure strategy can be found by expected effectiveness. However, if those frequencies are unknown, the optimal strategy is a mixed strategy provided by game theory. The problem can also be solved by linear programming method.
