Moving Target Defense: Creating Asymmetric Uncertainty for Cyber Threats was developed by a
group of leading researchers. It describes the fundamental challenges facing the research
community and identifies new promising solution paths. Moving Target Defense which is motivated
by the asymmetric costs borne by cyber defenders takes an advantage afforded to attackers and
reverses it to advantage defenders. Moving Target Defense is enabled by technical trends in
recent years including virtualization and workload migration on commodity systems widespread
and redundant network connectivity instruction set and address space layout randomization
just-in-time compilers among other techniques. However many challenging research problems
remain to be solved such as the security of virtualization infrastructures secure and
resilient techniques to move systems within a virtualized environment automatic
diversification techniques automated ways to dynamically change and manage the configurations
of systems and networks quantification of security improvement potential degradation and
more. Moving Target Defense: Creating Asymmetric Uncertainty for Cyber Threats is designed for
advanced -level students and researchers focused on computer science and as a secondary text
book or reference. Professionals working in this field will also find this book valuable.
