"What nature has to teach is more than we have ever imagined."
(John Lanie)

Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature. It is an emerging discipline that enables people to solve the problems in different areas by looking to the natural world for inspiration. Cybersecurity is not an exception. Patterns found in nature and strategies used by different organisms could be applied to develop effective defensive techniques in cybersecurity.

I published recently an article on how cybersecurity problems could be solved with the help of nature-inspired solutions.

(Cybersecurity + Biomimicry: Why, What, and How We Could Learn from Nature)
https://hackernoon.com/cybersecurity-biomimicry-why-what-and-how-we-could-learn-from-nature

The goal is to demonstrate that there's a lot we could learn from nature, even in cybersecurity.
In the article, I try to examine why, what, and how we could learn from nature.
The biomimicry design process is demonstrated using my own example (anti-virus system inspired by Thale cress strategy to prevent toxicity of heavy metals")) and AskNature web-service (https://asknature.org/)
I would be grateful for any feedback I could get.
