Report published in the Proceedings of the National Conference on "Education and Research in the Information Society", Plovdiv, May, 2016

Modern web technologies have already become an indispensable part of our everyday life, shaping a new, overlaid tech-social reality. This however generates numerous cyber opportunities & threats, produced as a result of the evolving human-machine and machine-to-machine interactions. The paper outlines a comprehensive, practical solution for meeting these problems from the cybersecurity perspective. A fourfold methodological approach to digital reality cyber threat landscape understanding is presented through: (i) Cyber Threat Landscape Definition, (ii) System Modelling & Analysis, (iii) Hybrid Simulation, (iv) Results Validation & Verification within multiple successful case studies.
