Abstract
Protecting against cyber attacks is no longer a
problem of organizations and home users only. Cyber security
programs are now a priority of most governments. Cyber
criminals have been using botnets to gain control over millions of
computer, steel information and commit other malicious
activities. In this paper we propose a self-healing architecture
that was originally inspired from a nature paradigm and applied
in the computer field. Our solution is designed to work within a
network domain. We present the initial design of our solution
based on the principles of self healing systems and the analysis of
botnet behaviour. We discuss how to either neutralize or reverse
(correct) their actions ensuring that network operations continue
without disruption.
