The traditional defensive security solutions employ techniques such as parameter-based defenses, data encryption, attribute-based access control, redundancy and replications, to safeguard systems. With the rise of sophisticated cyber-attacks from intelligent adversaries in recent years, given sufficient time and resources, all of these methods can be defeated. Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a promising new defensive security solution that aims to change the adversary’s gain-loss balance by continuously shifting the system’s attack surface. In this talk, I will discuss the design, implementation and experiments of an MTD framework for distributed systems on virtualized cloud platforms (i.e., Openstack).
