Despite this, proactive defensive measures have not been widely deployed. This is because flexible proactive defensive measures such as Moving Target Defense (MTD) have as much potential to interfere with a network's ability to support the mission as they do to defend the network. In this paper we introduce an approach to defining and measuring MTD effects applied in a network environment to help guide MTD deployment decisions that successfully balance the potential security benefits of MTD deployment against the potential productivity costs.","PeriodicalId":20578,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Second ACM Workshop on Moving Target Defense","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85732681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
