How Can We Use Epidemiological Models to Study Malware Spread?
Epidemiological models such as the SIR model (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) can be adapted to study malware spread. In this context:
Susceptible systems are those not yet infected but vulnerable. Infected systems are currently compromised and can spread the malware. Recovered systems have been cleaned and may be immune to future infections if proper defenses are in place.
