Abstract

The paper is devoted to the current issue of the counteracting cyberattacks in the banking sector, in particular in the field of e-banking. The main types of banking fraud, which are carried out in the online sphere, are considered. The authors propose a mathematical model that describes the process of counteracting e-banking fraud. Proposed model is based on the classic Lotka-Volterra model with logistic growth and the Holling-Tanner dynamic models. The fixed points of a dynamic system were calculated and analyzed. It was determined that there are 4 possible types of fixed points: saddle and the line of stable fixed points, which are unlikely may be in real life, stable node and a stable degenerate node, which are, in practice, the most likely cases. The constructed model could be used for theoretical study, different simulation experiments with changing input parameters could be done. Unfortunately, it is difficult to investigate this question on real data, since the statistics on cyberattacks are closed.
