academia. As the information security community searches for new defense strategies, researchers are_x000D_
developing algorithms and mathematical models to create network configurations that can adapt autonomously_x000D_
to their environments. This research will investigate robust and flexible architectural solutions able to scale to_x000D_
the information and processing required by massive influxes of data. Extrapolating from work done on_x000D_
modeling signaling pathways in normal and cancer cells where both types of cells show resilience as well as_x000D_
identifying targets for attacking cancer cells, we intend to identify architectures and mechanisms that guarantee_x000D_
uninterrupted functioning in the presence of adversity. We will apply our research into drug inhibition in_x000D_
signaling pathways, testing our algorithms and mathematical model in that context, to cyber resiliency in_x000D_
computer networks. Canada needs effective cyber security for the protection of individuals, industry and_x000D_
