CTI-Shapley: An ATT&CK-Guided Enhanced Shapley Value Mechanism for Benefit Distribution in Cyber Threat Intelligence Sharing
摘要
As cyber threats grow increasingly complex, cyber threat intelligence (CTI) sharing has become vital to strengthening collective defense. A key challenge in CTI-sharing ecosystems lies in distributing benefits fairly and efficiently, given the varying quality and impact of shared intelligence. Existing approaches often adopt game-theoretic models, particularly the Shapley value, to achieve fair distribution. While the Shapley value offers a principled solution, its exponential computational complexity limits its applicability in large-scale environments. To address this limitation, this study proposes CTI-Shapley—an enhanced algorithm that incorporates the ATT&CK framework into Shapley value computation. By structuring intelligence contributions into tactical-phase coalitions, CTI-Shapley captures the sequential nature of intelligence fusion. Experiments on real-world attack datasets show that CTI-Shapley outperforms traditional methods in both computational efficiency and practical applicability, offering a scalable solution for CTI-sharing platforms. These results position CTI-Shapley as a key advancement in CTI-sharing mechanisms, enabling fairer, more efficient benefit distribution across cybersecurity ecosystems.
