This talk explores how Moving Target Defense (MTD) can be used to achieve robust configuration security in modern systems. By continuously shifting system configurations and attack surfaces, MTD disrupts attacker reconnaissance and reduces the likelihood of successful exploits. The session will cover key MTD techniques, practical implementation strategies, and how to integrate them into existing security frameworks to enhance resilience and adaptability against evolving cyber threats.
