摘要

随着互联网技术飞速发展和大数据时代到来，越来越多网络空间安全文本出现在互联网上。这些文本不仅包括安全概念、事件、工具、指南和政策，还包括风险管理方法、最佳实践、保证和技术等。整合大规模、异构和非结构化的网络空间安全信息，对网络空间安全实体进行识别和分类，有助于处理和解决网络空间安全问题。由于网络空间安全领域文本的复杂性和多样性，使用传统的命名实体识别（NER）方法难以识别该领域中的安全实体。本文介绍该领域NER的各种方法和技术，包括基于规则的方法、基于字典的方法和基于机器学习的方法，并讨论该领域NER研究面临的问题，如实体词组的结合与分离、非标准化的命名约定、缩写和大量嵌套等。最后，提出NER在网络空间安全方面的3个研究方向：（1）应用无监督或半监督技术；（2）开发更全面的网络空间安全本体；（3）应用更加有效的深度学习模型。

Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet technology and the advent of the era of big data

more and more cyber security texts are provided on the Internet. These texts include not only security concepts

incidents

tools

guidelines

and policies

but also risk management approaches

best practices

assurances

technologies

and more. Through the integration of large-scale

heterogeneous

unstructured cyber security information

the identification and classification of cyber security entities can help handle cyber security issues. Due to the complexity and diversity of texts in the cyber security domain

it is difficult to identify security entities in the cyber security domain using the traditional named entity recognition (NER) methods. This paper describes various approaches and techniques for NER in this domain

including the rule-based approach

dictionary-based approach

and machine learning based approach

and discusses the problems faced by NER research in this domain

such as conjunction and disjunction

non-standardized naming convention

abbreviation

and massive nesting. Three future directions of NER in cyber security are proposed: (1) application of unsupervised or semi-supervised technology; (2) development of a more comprehensive cyber security ontology; (3) development of a more comprehensive deep learning model.
