Automated Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a cybersecurity strategy that aims to thwart attackers by continuously altering the attack surface. This approach, inspired by military tactics, makes it difficult for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities and move laterally within a network. While the concept has been around for over two decades, its widespread adoption remains limited. The challenges include the complexity of implementation, the emphasis on prevention rather than detection, and potential implementation failures. This article delves into the reasons behind MTD’s slow adoption and explores its potential impact on cybersecurity.
