Gaming The System: A Game Theoretic Approach To Risk Management And Cybersecurity

Authors

Abigail Breitenbucher, The College of WoosterFollow

Abstract

In this independent study, we detail two fields of game theory, traditional and evolutionary. After establishing foundational concepts in both, we explore risk management and cybersecurity through a game theoretic lens, focusing on some current applications in both fields. The research culminates in an application case of a game theoretic model for the 2017 Equifax data breach. To conclude, we discuss the implications of this model and future work involving evolutionary game theory in cybersecurity/risk management.
