Abstract: A system includes an edge network with edge devices configured to execute computing tasks of the edge network and an edge network management system with a resource deployment subsystem and a quantum computing subsystem. The resource deployment subsystem determines properties of the edge network, detects an anomaly using the properties of the edge network, and determines one or more simulated attacks for testing the edge network. The quantum computing subsystem is configured to execute the simulated attacks in a plurality of available configurations of the edge network and determine a security score for each of the configurations. The resource deployment subsystem then determines a selected configuration based at least in part on the security score determined for each of configurations and implements the selected configuration at the edge network.

Abstract: A system for inoculating a computer network against malware is described. Specifically, environmental indicators used by anti-analysis and target filtering mechanisms of a malware program may be determined based on analysis within a virtual or physical sandbox environment. The environmental indicators may be sent to computing devices associated with the computing network. The malware program, based on the environmental indicators, may be spoofed to assume that a computing device is associated with an anti-malware system, and/or is a device that is not to be infected. Based on this assumption, the malware program may not execute within the computing device.
