Problems Identified (4)

Open-world attack reasoning limitations: Existing attack knowledge reasoning methods rely on closed-world assumptions and lack the ability to model unknown entities and relationships.

Multi-hop attack relation discovery: Single-step reasoning strategies make it difficult to uncover multi-hop relationships in complex attack behaviors.

Proposed Solutions (5)

GAT relation-mapping extrapolation model: The paper proposes an attack knowledge extrapolation model using graph attention networks and relation mapping for open-world attack knowledge reasoning.

Mapping topology feature generation: The model constructs a mapping topology graph in a cybersecurity knowledge graph and uses neighborhood structures to generate representations for unknown entities and relations.

Attention-residual neighbor aggregation: The model combines graph attention mechanisms with residual connections to adaptively aggregate informative neighbor features.

Triple scoring prediction: The model uses a scoring function to infer and predict unknown attack-related entity–relation triples.
