Abstract
A computer implemented malware protection method to protect at least a subset of computer systems in a population of network-connected computer systems, including determining a distribution of predicted final infection size, each predicted final infection size being determined by a forecasting simulation of malware propagation from an originating system in the population; determining a plurality of ranges of final infection size from the distribution; determining weighted associations between clusters of computer systems and ranges of final infection size based on measures of numbers of originating computer systems in each cluster associated with each range of final infection size; and deploying protective measures for one or more clusters of computer systems responsive to the weighted associations.
