"High School Student Looks to Biology to Explore New Cybersecurity Pathways at ORNL"

Elton Aba, a junior at Bearden High School in Knoxville and intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), worked with researchers to explore how biology can inform cybersecurity. Aba shared some of his discoveries regarding the potential of biomimicry to help secure US critical infrastructure. Aba collaborated with senior cyber researcher Nate Evans on a bio-inspired cybersecurity approach to system defense. With a focus on the similarities between biological and artificial defense systems, Aba and Evans sought to gain further insight into defending against a cyberattack.
