Self-Healing for Cyber-Security

Abstract

Autonomic computing long since holds the promise to achieve properties including self-healing IT. The self-healing property provides a new perspective in the continuous battle between cyber attackers and defenders. Emerging containerization technology, and accompanying monitoring and deployment tools, can boost the state-of-the-art regarding self-healing IT. In this paper, we demonstrate how emerging technology can be integrated into a platform for regenerating and adaptive, self-healing containers. This Self-Healing for Cyber-Security (SH4CS) contribution paves the way towards a new type of autonomous cyber-security solutions.
