Approaches to Mathematical Simulation of Cyber Attacks on Mobile Devices

The relevance of the topic of protecting mobile devices from cyber attacks is due to a significant increase in the number and share of mobile gadgets among modern devices for accessing the Internet. The purpose of the article is to mathematically substantiate and formalize the models of the most common attacks on mobile devices. On the basis of the constructed models, methods are proposed to prevent and neutralize intrusions into the system of smartphones and tablet computers. Method: applied system analysis of the results of generalization and classification of typical types of attacks on mobile devices, elements of the theory of probability. Results: the features of mechanisms for the formation of vulnerabilities of mobile devices were determined. The important aspects of determining the effectiveness of modern technologies for protecting against cyber attacks on mobile devices are identified. A brief overview of the main approaches to mathematical modeling of the most common attacks is given. Additional requirements are formulated for an adequate choice of protection methods depending on the type of attacks. Recommendations are formulated to ensure the security of a mobile device against threats. Methods for reducing the probability of system damage by the most common attacks are proposed.
