Software vulnerabilities are a major enabler for cyberattacks, and are therefore responsible for a sizeable portion of the risk for large organisations in cyberspace. Little research has been done on the dynamics underlying this risk. The goal of this paper is to find how organisations and software vendors can influence the overall risk level as a result of vulnerabilities. An agent-based model is developed to capture the behaviour and complexity of the vulnerability ecosystem. Somewhat counter intuitively, the model shows that not necessarily the number of vulnerabilities, but rather the diffusion of the knowledge on vulnerabilities, has a strong influence on the resulting attacks. Instead of trying to fix all vulnerabilities, focussing pa...
