TheUN estimatestheres a cyber attack every 39 seconds.
As cybercriminals lurk undercover, the cybersecurity industry has evolved to block the most undetectable attacks with groundbreaking technologies.
Now, experts are finding inspiration in some of the most sophisticated technology that exists the human body.

The attackers are out there.
He adds, An important aspect of cybersecurity is awareness and knowledge sharing.
If we share our information, knowledge, and work, we can be stronger together.
The system was created in collaboration with specialists with a background in biology.
Casano says looking to biology was a natural next step in the innovation process for the PCSI collective.
We can take learnings from other fields like biology, not only for security but also in other sectors.
For example, in engineering, we can learn from advancements in aerospace.
How self-healing cybersecurity works
The self-healing system reflects how the human body responds against infections and pathogens.
Similarly, in the human body, new cell production replaces cells damaged by bacteria.
The advanced system adopts natures delicate balance and is both reactive and proactive.
As cybercrime becomes more complex, a fast and effective response is vital.
What could be more apt than a self-healing cybersecurity system that immediately detects vulnerabilities and fights against them?
The future of self-healing cybersecurity
So whats next for the future of self-healing cybersecurity?
Plans might include adding patch performance to the system so it can automatically patch the applications running in containers.
We are in the exploration phase right now with TNO, Casano reveals.
As cybercriminals exploit more vulnerabilities, companies must establish a strong line of protection to outmaneuver increasingly slick attacks.
