When attackers and defenders deceive each other in cyberspace, Stackelberg signaling game theory reveals who holds the strategic upper hand — and why moving first isn't always an advantage.

Theory Briefing
- Stackelberg game theory models a hierarchy where one player (the defender) moves first, shaping how attackers respond.
- Deception is central to both sides — attackers and defenders send misleading signals to manipulate each other's decisions.
- The model captures asymmetric information dynamics, showing how incomplete knowledge shifts strategic power between attacker and defender.
