- Contagion
- Computer security: Worms and viruses propagate by infecting a host that then scans and infects its network neighbors; the spread is modeled with the same epidemic equations used for disease, and quarantine and segmentation are the direct analogues of public-health containment.
This sourceModels self-propagating malware with the standard epidemic framework on a contact graph, identifying a critical epidemic threshold and showing that imperfect defenses (the analogues of quarantine and segmentation) suffice if transmission stays sub-critical.
