Abstract

This article discusses in detail the "Octopus Method", which was developed as an innovative approach for mobile device security. Inspired by the defense mechanisms developed by octopuses in nature, this method integrates features such as camouflage, ink release, limb sacrifice and flexibility into cyber security strategies to ensure the security of mobile devices. While camouflage reduces the visibility of mobile devices on the network, making it harder for attackers to identify the device, ink release includes techniques such as the use of fake data or malware to distract and mislead attackers. While the limb-sacrifice strategy ensures that certain modules of the device are isolated or shut down in the event of an attack, protecting the rest, flexibility enables the adaptation of the device to threat situations, making it possible to dynamically change security policies. The Octopus Method offers advantages such as protecting user privacy, providing adaptive security, and optimizing the balance of security and performance. This strategy goes beyond traditional methods by applying natural defense mechanisms in cybersecurity for individual users and enterprise-level mobile devices. The article details the application areas of the Octopus Method and the effects of this method on mobile device security, providing a potential framework for future mobile security strategies.
