“Moving target defense, or MTD, is a very promising approach to defense,” Acosta said. “This technique constantly shuffles, or changes, system properties in order to nullify any intelligence information that an adversary may have, and that may be used to compromise systems. There are many existing theories, algorithms and models for this novel type of defense, but until now, it has been nearly impossible to conduct comparative analyses to generate situation-specific decision support.”
