Abstract: In order to improve the security of networks in whole, a method of making strategies for the network security reinforcement based on Generalized Stochastic Colored Petri Net was proposed. The concepts of host node utilization index and host node key degree were introduced, which enabled the vulnerable nodes that needed repairing sorted by the value of host node key degree. On this basis, security level of the target network was increased by the reinforcement according to the principle of maximum node key degree first. The network instance further validates that the proposed method for network security reinforcement is effective, and the operability is better than traditional methods.
