Anti-fragility to Malware Spreading

To achieve anti-fragility to malware spreading, this chapter applies the fail fast principle from Chap. 4 to the robust malware-halting technique developed in the two previous chapters. According to the fail fast principle, it is necessary to learn from failures in complex adaptive systems when the impact of the failures are still small. In the case of infectious malware epidemics, once malware is detected on a node in a networked system, other nodes infected by the same malware should be healed and susceptible nodes should be protected from future infections of this malware.
