  Cyber Resilience is an important property of complex systems and is important
consideration in developing specific IoT applications. This work aims at
introducing a novel approach to assess IoT resilience adopting the risk
perception in network based epidemic spreading approach. In particular IoT has
been considered a network of devices where the probability of infection and
interactions (communication), needs to be balanced in order to reduce the
malware outbreack while maintaining the network functionalities at an
acceptable level. The mathematical model and the simulation results reveal the
benefit of a shift from a risk-based to a resilience based approach to threat
management in IoT.
