Modelling and defence against malware propagation

随着互联网对我们的日常工作和生活变得至关重要，我们目睹了网上恶意软件或恶意软件事件的显著激增。该项目旨在开发能够准确模拟恶意软件在互联网上传播的关键技术。这些技术将有助于在早期阶段利用有限的防御资源开发针对恶意软件传播的有效防御，从而将损害降至最低，并提供识别和控制恶意软件传播者的能力。该项目意义重大，因为它可以保护对澳大利亚人民的日常工作至关重要的互联网，从而通过保护我们的关键基础设施来解决保护澳大利亚的一个根本问题。

As the internet has become vital to our day-to-day working and living, we are witnessing a remarkable upsurge in the incidents of malicious software or malware on it. This project aims to develop key technologies that can precisely model the malware propagation on the internet. The technologies will help develop effective defence against malware propagation at an early stage, with limited defence resources, so as to minimise the damage and provide a capability to identify and control malware spreaders. This project is significant as it can secure the internet that is essential to the daily work of Australian people, thus addresses a fundamental problem in safeguarding Australia by protecting our critical infrastructure.
