Superlinear growth refers to a phenomenon where a platform’s revenue, influence, or impact increases at a rate faster than the growth of its user base. In cybersecurity, this concept is important because as platforms experience superlinear growth, their attack surface and risk exposure can expand disproportionately. This means that even a modest increase in users or assets can lead to much larger increases in security challenges, data exposure, and potential vulnerabilities. Understanding superlinear growth helps cybersecurity professionals anticipate and mitigate risks that scale faster than the underlying system, ensuring security measures grow in tandem with the platform’s expansion.
