ARTIFICIAL IMMUNIZATION OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS TO ENSURE THEIR CYBERSECURITY

The purpose of the study is to formally formulate the problem of artificial immunization
of complex technical systems to ensure their security against cyber threats. The work draws
an analogy between human immunity and the security functions of modern technical systems.
A mathematical model of a technical system that describes how the system’s immunity counteracts
various cyberattacks was developed. The immunization problem is formulated to minimize
the number of infected objects in the system and maximize the number of cured objects among
the infected ones.
