Advanced information security systems (ISS) play an ever-increasing role in the information assurance in global computer networks. Dependability of ISS is being achieved by the enormous amount of data processing that adversely affects the overall network performance. Modern ISS architecture is viewed as a multi-agent system comprising a number of semi-autonomous software agents designated to prevent particular kinds of threats and suppress specific types of attacks without burdening the network. The high efficiency of such a system is achieved by establishing the principles of successful individual and cooperative operation of particular agents. Such principles, evolved during evolution, are known to be implemented in biological immune systems. The aim of this paper is the exploration of the basic principles that govern an immune system and the potential implementation of these principles in a multi-agent ISS of a heterogeneous computer network.
