Adding Layers of Security to Prevent Cyber Attacks

🔒Moving target defense involves changing IP addresses in a random manner to confuse attackers.

🔁Real-time operating systems like those used in airplanes and satellites require careful implementation of network protection measures.

⏱️Even milliseconds of delay in operations can have critical consequences for systems like jets and satellites.

🌐Moving target defense can be employed across various critical assets, such as the electric grid and industrial control systems.

🔐The goal is to make moving target defense as commonplace as encryption algorithms used in banking transactions.

What is moving target defense?

—Moving target defense is a security strategy that involves constantly changing IP addresses to confuse attackers and prevent successful cyber attacks.

What systems can benefit from moving target defense?

—Moving target defense can be applied to various critical assets like the electric grid, industrial control systems, military aircraft, and space satellites.

Why is real-time operating system important in moving target defense?
