Abstract
Objective. The aim of the study is to construct a matrix model for determining the level of cyber victimization.
Method. The problem of quantitative assessment of cyber victimization based on the Cattell test is presented. An algorithm for converting the mathematical model for determining the degree of susceptibility to cybercrime into matrix form is provided.
Result. The concept of a composite cybervictimization criterion is introduced. A mathematical model has been developed for identifying the level of propensity for cyber-victimization in both numerical and qualitative forms. Test modeling was conducted to verify the adequacy of the constructed models with different types of input data.
Conclusion. The correctness of the matrix model was confirmed by the coincidence of the obtained results with the results of simulation conducted using the original model. The capabilities of the software application developed based on the considered models are described. Potential application areas for the software application and paths for its modernization are proposed.
