Abstract

The article has two goals: to attract the interest of mathematicians to immunology and to look for ideas for Cyber Defense Systems considering the human immune system as a highly sophisticated defense system against any dangers. An overview of the role of lymphocytes in the immune system (IS), the main IS models, and a few tips for IS mathematical modeling are given. As a future work in immunology, melanoma is considered, and relating to cyber defense the experience of the U.S. Army Cyber Command is mentioned.
