Cyber attacks analysis using decision tree technique for improving cyber situational awareness

Cyber Security experts are trying to find solutions to prevent cyber-attacks and one of the main solutions is improving cyber situational awareness which leads to an extensive overview of the current situation in cyber space and gives prediction ability to managers to prevent future cyber threats. In this paper we aim to improve cyber situational awareness by analysing past cyber incidents in 2015 and for this purpose Open Source Intelligence has been chosen as main source of initial dataset and also Decision tree method has been used as a classification technique and a predictive approach in order to analyse the data.
