Perelson1 aJoshua Plotkin00aChallenges in cybersecurity: Lessons from biological defense systems  uhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S00255564230006523 awe present a conceptual framework for structured comparisons across the fields of biological immunity and cybersecurity, by framing the context of defense, considering different (combinations of) defensive strategies, and evaluating defensive performance. Throughout this paper, we pose open questions for further exploration. We hope to spark the interdisciplinary discovery of general principles of optimal defense, which can be understood and applied in biological immunity, cybersecurity, and other defensive realms.  a0025-5564
