Biomimicry and Cybersecurity: Learning from 3 billion years of evolution
summary
The talk examines how principles from three billion years of biological evolution can inform cybersecurity, focusing on biomimetic strategies such as redundancy, diversity, adaptability and immune-like detection. It discusses concrete technologies and approaches that apply these concepts to software and network defense—for example using heterogeneous systems, self-healing mechanisms, and anomaly-based detection models inspired by biological immune systems.
