Gartner says Automated Moving Target Defense is the future of cyber security

Gartner’s “Emerging Tech: Security – The Future of Cyber Is Automated Moving Target Defense” report focuses on their perceived evolution of Moving Target Defense in the future. According to Gartner “MTD approaches have been particularly valuable in those instances of prevention where attackers need to dedicate significant reconnaissance efforts to identify vulnerabilities or the right path to an exploit.”

Moving Target Defense (MTD) has become a focus point of recent cyber security advances. Gartner describes key benefits of MTD as offering greater assurance and resiliency against attacks. CryptoniteNXT is included as a vendor in this area. Read the full report here (paid Gartner subscription required).

While attackers can easily obtain a set of vulnerabilities and exploits, actually using those exploits to successfully compromise a network is a whole other story.  In poorly defended networks, vulnerabilities can be easily found, the attacker can orient themselves, and planning an attack is easy.  In a network defended with network-level Moving Target Defense, the attack is thwarted by invalidating the attacker’s assumptions.

CryptoniteNXT uses Moving Target Defense to add operational security to your network.  Attackers can no longer rely on predicting or understanding your network.  Network discovery is now a severe challenge for the attacker.  The “bag of tricks” an attacker builds over time and relies on to launch and maximize exploits no longer works.  At the same time, the network admin gets a significant increase in visibility and understanding of their network.  A net win for the good guys and a net loss for the bad guys.

MTD does not have to be difficult. CryptoniteNXT’s network-based MTD automatically pulls traffic in to allow micro-segmentation. CryptoniteNXT’s MTD goes a step further by collecting and maintaining state about what each device in the network knows and how each device should be operating as the network changes and/or appears to change. When violations of the MTD occur, CryptoniteNXT can then automatically and decisively block the potentially malicious traffic. Critically, an administrator does not need to determine what traffic should be denied or monitor alerts for CryptoniteNXT’s MTD to be effective.

Don’t just take our word for it, CryptoniteNXT has been red teamed by many organizations.  Ease of use and security are both within your reach!  Contact us to see the value that Moving Target Defense can provide your organization by securing legacy systems without a rip and replace effort, increasing efficiency in your IT and security operations, and maintaining trust.
