An auto-immune system allows 'germs' to attack the host, so that the adaptive immune system learns.
Actually, the adaptive immune system is activated by macrophages and dendritic cells as they destroy the pathogen. The innate immune system starts attacking immediately, as well as activating the more effective specific immune system via T-Lymphocyte activation. Except in an individual with compromised immune system, a pathogen is never left to invade unhindered.
As for allowing hackers to penetrate security systems, that's not the case either. People caught hacking into a system without permissions are put in prison. They may hire professional hackers to attempt to gain access to their system and report the result to them, but I hardly think that compares to exposing the system to an actual attack.
