“Can Biology Show Us How to Stop Hackers?”
ASU Now interviewed Stephanie Forrest, who is the director of ASU Biodesign Institute Center for Biocomputing, Security and Society, as well as a professor in the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering. Forrest discussed how the observation of biological systems can inspire the development of novel methods in the process and implementation of cybersecurity. This article presents an interview in which Forrest discussed how mechanisms and principles used by biological systems can help shape approaches to cybersecurity problems, along with her thoughts on the scope of data breaches, the vulnerability of current computer systems to hacking, and cybersecurity challenges that will arise in the near future.
