Solving cybersecurity issues requires a holistic understanding of components, factors, structures and their interactions in cyberspace, but conventional modeling approaches view the field of cybersecurity by their boundaries so that we are still not clear to cybersecurity and its changes. In this paper, we attempt to discuss the application of systems thinking approaches to cybersecurity modeling. This paper reviews the systems thinking approaches and provides the systems theories and methods for tackling cybersecurity challenges, regarding relevant fields, associated impact factors and their interactions. Moreover, an illustrative example of systems thinking frameworks for cybersecurity modeling is developed to help broaden the mind in methodology, theory, technology and practice. This article concludes that systems thinking can be considered as one of the powerful tools of cybersecurity modeling to find, characterize, understand, evaluate and predict cybersecurity.

网络安全建模的系统思考

解决网络安全问题需要全面了解网络空间中的组件、因素、结构及其相互作用，但传统的建模方法通过边界来看待网络安全领域，因此我们仍然不清楚网络安全及其变化。在本文中，我们试图讨论系统思维方法在网络安全建模中的应用。本文回顾了系统思维方法，并提供了应对网络安全挑战的系统理论和方法，涉及相关领域、相关影响因素及其相互作用。此外，还开发了用于网络安全建模的系统思维框架的说明性示例，以帮助拓宽方法论、理论、技术和实践方面的思路。
