Abstract

Protecting critical infrastructure from intentional damage requires foreseeing the strategies of possible attackers. We formulate this problem as a Stackelberg Security Game. A defender must decide which specific targets to protect with limited resources, thus maximizing their expected utility (e.g., minimizing damage value) and considering that a second player (or players), called an attacker, responds in the best possible way.
