How Can Epidemiological Models Be Applied to Cybercrime?
Epidemiological models, such as the SIR model (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered), can be adapted to study the spread of cyber threats. In this context, individuals or systems can be classified as:
Susceptible: Vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to lack of protection or awareness. Infected: Compromised by malware, phishing, or other cyber threats. Recovered: Systems or individuals that have been secured and are no longer at risk.
By using these models, we can predict the spread of cyber threats and develop targeted prevention strategies.
