Abstract

The 21st century has pioneered a technological revolution like no other, where anyone from the government to international corporations to the public can use smart technology and computers to store personal information and conduct large transfers of money or sensitive information. However, along with the widespread use of such technology come the growing risks of cyber attacks and security breaches that can pose disastrous consequences for the system attacked. Over time, humans and other living creatures have developed various natural forms of protection for survival, and these biological instincts and predispositions can be synthetically replicated and applied to cyber security systems to enhance a system’s resilience in the face of an attack.
