When Biology Meets Cybersecurity: A Review

From the observations made on biology and nature, it can be seen that biological living creatures are very efficient in the functions of recognizing and eliminating danger around them. Their ability to adapt within the surrounding environment and self-healing capability are remarkable. Computers’ defensive systems have been approached by various biological inspired techniques. However, very few surveys examined the current cyber security status - in which most of them are focused on one or two methods (i.e. Artificial Immune System - AIS and/or Genetic Algorithms approaches).
