Popis: The efforts to develop a concrete analytical theory, which would enable us to develop a proper understanding, and then utilize the analysis in developing optimized control mechanisms to deal with the continuously increasing problem of malicious attacks in computer and other technological networks. The applicability of e-epidemic models is expected to provide a newer paradigm to the overall efforts being made in this direction. The major challenges in applying epidemic modeling to the analysis of cyber attacks have been highlighted, which are expected to provide a basic framework that can be utilized while developing effective models. The domain is expected to provide enormous challenges because of the large-scale complexities involved, but a proper design and analysis of the problem is expected to lead to comprehensive models that can possibly help in developing intelligent defense mechanisms that make use of the basic analytical framework provided by the models. The basic methodology of the applicability of e-epidemic models and their use in a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the problem has also been outlined.
