Moving Target Defense

This proposed innovative approach, called Container Hopping At Random Intervals Or Targeted-attacks (CHARIOT), provides a dynamic moving target to keep our adversaries off guard with minor impact on the systems overall performance while providing a reduced attack-surface. CHARIOT will provide a novel capabilities to confuse and mislead potential attackers, thus reducing their chance of successful exploitation of the protected system.Achieving the goals of CHARIOT provides a delicate balance between the frequency of hopping and resource consumption.While ensuring the adversary only has access to a small observation window before the attack surface changes.This balance is one of the teams major innovation and removes the barrier for providing container hopping to the commercial world.
