Abstract
This paper presents a mathematical model for the spread of computer attacks on critical information infrastructure based on the extension of the basic Lotka–Volterra model. Within the context of the proposed model, the problem is formulated, the point of stability of the system is determined, and a criterion is proposed for the adequacy of the attack detection methods to the changing parameters of the critical information infrastructure and existing cyber threats.
