Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Cyberattacks, especially Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), have become more complex. These evolving threats challenge traditional defense systems, which struggle to counter long-lasting and covert attacks. Cybersecurity Knowledge Graphs (CKGs), enabled through the integration of multi-source CTI, introduce novel approaches for proactive defense. However, building CKGs faces challenges such as unclear terminology, overlapping entity relationships in attack chains, and differences in CTI across sources. To tackle these challenges, we propose the CyberKG framework, which improves entity recognition and relation extraction using a SecureBERT_Plus-BiLSTM-Attention-CRF joint architecture. Semantic features are captured using a domain-adapted SecureBERT_Plus model, while temporal dependencies are modeled through BiLSTM. Attention mechanisms highlight key cross-sentence relationships, while CRF incorporates ATT&CK rule constraints. Hierarchical clustering (HAC), based on contextual embeddings, facilitates dynamic entity disambiguation and semantic fusion. Experimental evaluations on the DNRTI and MalwareDB datasets demonstrate strong performance in extraction accuracy, entity normalization, and the resolution of overlapping relations. The constructed knowledge graph supports APT tracking, attack-chain provenance, proactive defense prediction.
