Immune intelligence
New era, new needs, new rules.
“The only certainty is uncertainty”—Pliny the Elder
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to building an immune system, but there are principles that, once you see them, you can't unsee them:
robust, distributed, dynamic, diverse, and adaptative.
These principles are the foundation of Wild Intelligence — where we operate through a progressive development journey to achieve a full-fledged enterprise immune system (EIS).
We prioritize global collaboration, open-source initiatives, and knowledge sharing, which are crucial for advancing the EIS concept as a whole.
We start by building a strong foundation through existing technologies that serve as a stepping stone toward more advanced EIS functionalities: a holistic solution to help frame cyber resilience as a business enabler and modification requirements due to uncertainty.
Whether you have access to foundation models, APIs, SDKs, or Web integration, you must always consider the decision-making process. With a commitment to safe commercial use, we empower your organization and address your business challenges at scale while offering solutions with full liability coverage.
We've pulled together 10 fundamental adaptable strategies (with simple visual explanations) that provide the foundation for the transition every business will need to embrace, sooner or later.

Here are 10 strategies inspired by the immune system that CISOs and CIOs can leverage:
1. Embrace continuous learning:
Just like the immune system constantly learns from new pathogens, organizations need a culture of continuous learning. Promote ongoing training for your security team on emerging threats and attack vectors. Encourage knowledge sharing across departments to create a well-informed immune posture.
2. Develop proactive risk management:
Move beyond reactive security measures. Conduct regular threat assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities before adversaries exploit them. Invest in immune intelligence services to stay ahead of constantly evolving attack methods.
3. Prioritize adaptability:
Rigid security controls can leave vulnerabilities. Design your immunity architecture with flexibility in mind. Utilize automation and orchestration tools to automate incident response and adapt to changing threats in real time.
4. Invest in diversity:
A diverse immunity team with various skills and experiences is better equipped to identify and address different types of threats. This mirrors the immune system's reliance on various cell types for comprehensive defense.
5. Encourage experimentation:
Foster a culture of innovation within your immunity team. Encourage experimentation with new security technologies and methodologies, similar to how the immune system experiments with different antibodies to fight pathogens.
6. Build memory and knowledge banks:
Create a centralized repository of past security incidents and the lessons learned. Use this knowledge base to inform future security strategies and improve response times.
7. Promote collaboration and communication:
Break down silos between IT security, OT security, and business units. Ensure seamless communication and information sharing across the organization. This mirrors how different immune system cells work together to fight infection.
8. Embrace measured risks:
Taking calculated risks allows for innovation and growth in security strategies. Implement security controls that are both effective and efficient, minimizing disruption to business operations, just as the immune system's controlled responses fight pathogens without harming the body.
9. Focus on resilience:
Build an organization with the capacity to bounce back from security incidents. Develop a robust incident response plan and conduct regular drills to ensure everyone knows their roles.
10. Prioritize continuous improvement:
The immune system is constantly evolving. Organizations should strive to optimize security practices and technologies on an ongoing basis. They should conduct regular security reviews and penetration testing to identify areas for improvement.
By adopting these strategies inspired by the immune system, CISOs and CIOs can build a more adaptable, resilient, and future-proof organization in the face of ever-changing security threats.
