Adapting an Agent-Based Model of Socio-Technical Systems to Analyze Security Failures
Abstract
This paper works towards developing agent-based models of socio-technical systems to study security failures. These models could contribute to multi-component simulations such as cyber range events, where they would generate network traffic[8][9]. Agent-based modeling[10] involves autonomous and proactive programs which communicate peer-to-peer. Socio-technical system approaches involve models of humans, their organizations, the tools they use, and the interaction between all of these[11]. Agent-based models of socio-technical systems have been applied in the context of air traffic systems of air traffic controllers and pilots[11], economic production/consumption networks[12], and more.
