The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) of Singapore and the Bio-Inspired Agile Cyber Security Assurance Framework) in Israel are joining forces to research new methods of tackling advanced cyber threats using the body's natural defences against bacteria as an inspiration. The research project, the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU (BICSAF), will find solutions to advanced persistent threats, or hacking processes, that are continuous and covert on specific organisations. The human body’s immune system adapts and fights evolving bacteria and viruses, and the researchers plan to develop cyber-immune technologies that will be able to adapt to ever-changing cyber attacks.
