👉 The IEEE Infection, a special interest group (SIG) within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), focuses on the study and mitigation of cyber threats, particularly those that can spread through networks and systems. It addresses issues such as malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and other forms of cyber infections that target both digital infrastructure and human behavior. IEEE Infection promotes research, standards, and best practices to enhance cybersecurity, aiming to protect critical infrastructure, data integrity, and user privacy in an increasingly connected world. By fostering collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, the group works to develop robust solutions and guidelines to combat the evolving landscape of cyber infections.
