This book provides an overview of Moving Target Defense (MTD) and
the importance of developing novel MTD schemes to protect
distributed systems. It presents MTD-based research efforts to
protect cloud data centers, along with network and security
risk-aware approaches to place Virtual Machines (VM) in cloud
data centers. These approaches include MTD-based network
diversity models that enable an evaluation of the robustness of
cloud data centers against potential zero-day attacks. Since
these models can be used as a security metric the authors include
different network configurations and policies, consider the
similarity and dissimilarity of network resources, and account
for minimum impact to maximum impact attacks. Also offered is a
framework for determining the cost of MTD-based VM migration on
cloud data centers.

Designed for researchers and practitioners, Moving Target Defense
for Distributed Systems enables readers to understand the
potential of MTD capabilities. It enables defenders to change
system or network behaviors, policies, and configurations
automatically to keep potential attack surfaces protected.
Advanced level students in computer science, especially those
interested in networks and security, will benefit from this book.
