Workshop on Foundations and Challenges for Proactive and Dynamic Network Defense

Abstract

Recently, emerging proactive and dynamic defense mechanisms, such as moving target defense (MTD) and deception-based techniques, show great promises to proactively provide dynamic or deceptive information to reduce the probability of network attacks. They are increasingly gaining interest in the research community. However, these approaches are still in their preliminary design stage with major research challenges yet to be solved. The grant proposal is to seek support of organizing a one-and-half-day workshop to invite leading and active network security researchers from the academic, industry and government as workshop participants to discuss and summarize current research issues, identify challenges, and outline future directions for fundamental research on proactive and dynamic network defense. The workshop is proposed to be held in Tampa FL, hosted by University of South Florida (USF), where the Florida Center for Cybersecurity has been recently established. A report will be compiled and summarized after the workshop to layout the foundations and challenges in proactive and dynamic network defense.
