With the rise of sophisticated cyber-attacks in recent years, the traditional security solution schemes such as parameter-bassed defenses (firewalls), access control, redundancy and replications, can be defeated given sufficient time. Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a promising defensive security solution that aims to change the attackers' gain-loss balance of the systems by continuously shifting the systems' attack surface. In this talk, I will discuss the design and implementation of an MTD scheme for virtualized cloud computing platforms.
