Abstract -
Small business e-commerce sites are very
good target for cyber-attack. They do not have
sufficient resources required to deal with the
attack. The extensive use of e-commerce websites
create new ways for both image and brands to be
attacked. Security of e-commerce websites is
essential for compliance with laws and regulations
as well as gaining and maintaining the trust of
stakeholders, partners and customers. Attacks on
customer’s sensitive information have the adverse
effect of decreasing the customer’s faith on online
transactions, which happens in e-commerce
network. In this paper, we propose a dynamic
transmission model (Sp-I-Q-Sp) of malicious objects
in the e-commerce network and study its dynamic
behaviours. Numerical method is employed to solve
and simulate the system of equations developed. In
this context, we give the threshold for determining
whether the virus dies out completely. Then, we
study the existence of equilibria, and analyse their
local asymptotic stability. Results of numerical
simulations are obtained using MATLAB.
Interpretation of the model yields interesting
exposures.
