Information systems now form the backbone of nearly every government and private system – Web services currently does or will play a major role in supporting access to distributed resources, command and control to exploit the backbone. Increasingly these systems are networked together allowing for distributed operations, sharing of databases, and redundant capability. Ensuring these networks are secure, robust, and reliable is critical for the strategic and economic well being of the Nation. This paper argues in favor of a biologically inspired approach to creating survivable cyber-secure infrastructures (SCI). Our discussion employs the power transmission grid.
