Abstract :
The A3 adaptive execution management environment contributes to moving-target defense (MTD) strategies by enabling sophisticated dynamic defensive maneuvers. A3 facilitates synergistic combination of MTDs with one another as well as with other aspects of a composite defense, aiming to improve an application´s resiliency over time. It can expand MTDs´ scope and increase their effectiveness by subjecting additional system aspects to dynamic motion and adding moving-target dynamism to the overall defense, with little increase in cost and complexity.
