And then we apply the Stochastic Game Nets method to describe the attack and defense course in the enterprise networks successfully‚ and find a Nash equilibrium. Finally we analyze the confidentiality and integrity of the enterprise network quantificationally based on the model. The method can also be applied to other areas with respect to a game.
