Investigating the Impact of Sink State Merging on Alert-Driven Attack Graphs: The effects of allowing the sink states to merge with other sink states

This research paper focuses on the complex domain of alert-driven attack graphs. SAGE is a tool which generates such attack graphs (AGs) by using a suffix-based probabilistic deterministic finite automaton (S-PDFA). One of the substantial properties of this algorithm is to detect infrequent severe alerts while maintaining the context of attacks...
