Abstract

We have seen security challenges are increasing due to extensive use of modern technologies with expanding connectivity during last few years. This has created a high risk threat environment which needs effective steps to counter these threats. Multi agent system planning for threat avoidance (MASPTA) is a proposed system that uses goal oriented action planning (GOAP) strategy with threat modeling process in a multi agent environment. In multi agent system planning, agents will work in unison to avoid the threats with their action plans executed by individual agents as per the schedule generated. The main goal of this approach is to avoid threats to a web based system. Firstly, it identifies the threats in the system using the concepts of threat modeling and create attack tree for each identified threat using Hierarchal Task Network (HTN) technique Thereafter action plans are generated and executed as planned by using Goal Oriented Action Planning (GOAP) to avoid the threat. Case study explains the multi agent system planning that helps in avoiding the threats to the online banking system.
