-As the number and variety of cyber threats increase, it becomes more critical to share intelligence information in a fast and efficient manner. However, current cyber threat intelligence data do not contain sufficient information about how to specify countermeasures or how institutions should apply counter measures automatically on their networks. A flexible and agile network architecture is required in order to determine and deploy countermeasures quickly. Software-defined networks facilitate timely application of cyber security measures thanks to their programmability. In this work, we propose a novel model for producing software-defined networking-based solutions against cyber threats and configuring networks automatically using risk analysis. We have developed a prototype implementation of the proposed model and demonstrated the applicability of the model. Furthermore, we have identified and presented future research directions in this area.
