AutoAutomated Moving Target Defense and VPN Alternatives
Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) is a newly emerging way to deliver MTD in a way that builds on the provable benefits of the technique while eliminating the issues of doing it manually. As you’ve probably guessed, the change in AMTD is to automate the variations within IT systems and defensive solutions. AMTD exploits the principle that a moving target presents a more formidable challenge for attackers than a stationary one. It employs tactics that involve orchestrating and automating changes in various systems and layers of an IT environment to increase uncertainty and complexity within the targeted systems.
AMTD uses four core pillars:
* Proactive cyber defense mechanisms
* Automation to orchestrate movement or change in the attack surface
* The use of deception technologies
* The ability to execute intelligent (preplanned) change decisions
