Abstract

Bio-inspired computing is an active field of research since nature has found solutions for many real-world problems where research so far struggled to develop effective implementations. A new area of research is cyber immunity. Cyber immune systems try to mimic the adaptive immune system of humans and animals because of its capability to detect and fend off new, unseen pathogens. Today’s cyber security systems provide an effective defense mechanism against cyber-attacks. However, traditional firewall and intrusion detection systems often struggle to detect and repel so far unknown attacks. A cyber immune system can mitigate this shortcoming by detecting new, unknown cyber-attacks and by providing a powerful defense mechanism. This paper describes the recent advances in cyber immune systems and their underlying, bio-inspired technologies.
