Cyber Moat: Adaptive Virtualized Network Framework for Deception and Disinformation

Abstract

Given limited resources including CPU cycles, memory, disk storage and network bandwidth, we will design a scalable decoy system that can not only minimize resource usage (i.e. a large number of decoys can be deployed simultaneously), but also provide effective protection for the real system. In general, there are three design goals of our decoy system: scalability, fidelity, and isolation. This project will develop a set of optimized, validated, and fully documented algorithms andmechanisms. A successful system prototype will be delivered and lead to a powerful new capability for using moving target defense mechanism to build resilient, adaptive, and secure systems.
