Cybersecurity refers to hardware and software components that protect computer devices from unauthorised access, but also to non-technical measures such as legislation and user training. The challenge is to keep systems cyber secure by using bio-inspired techniques.
A couple of trials are in place which make use of biomimicry in response to cybersecurity challenges. Cybersecurity includes a multitude of different aspects such as defense layers, counter attack, misleading attackers, protection strategies and also human error, which is often referred to as the weakest link. This domain is still at the research project stage. At this moment in time, no breakthroughs relating to biomimicry have been observed.
