Abstract: Organizations suffer more than ever from the inability to securely manage the information system, despite their myriad efforts. By introducing a real cyberattack of a bank, this research analyzes the characteristics of modern cyberattacks and simulates the dynamic propagation that makes them difficult to manage. It develops a self-adaptive framework that through simulation, distinctly improves cyberdefense efficiency. The results illustrate the discrepancies of the previous studies and validate the use of a time-based self-adaptive model for cybersecurity management. The results further show the significance of human and organizational learning effects and a coordination mechanism in obtaining a highly dependable cyberdefense setting. This study also provides an illuminating analysis for humans to position themselves in the collaborations with increasingly intelligent agents in the future.
