The book puts forward dynamically enabled cyber defense technology as a solution to the system homogenization problem. Based on the hierarchy of the protected information system entity, the book elaborates on current mainstream dynamic defense technologies from four aspects: the internal hardware platform, software service, information data and external network communication. It also ascertains their possible evolution routes, clarifies their relationship with existing security products, and makes macro analyses and discussions on security gain and overall system efficiency of these technologies.
Vulnerabilities are prerequisites for cyber attacks and defenses. They are the root cause of cyber insecurity, and the strategic resources that both attackers and defenders scramble for. Information systems are designed and implemented by people. Due to people’s inherent inertia and cognitive limitations, vulnerabilities cannot be avoided. As the complexity of the system increases, the vulnerability problem will become more severe. In cyber attacks and defenses activities, attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities, while defenders find and mitigate vulnerabilities to reduce the chance of being exploited. However, in the face of vulnerabilities, both sides are asymmetric. Using an undisclosed vulnerability, attackers may drive straight into the attack target. While no matter how many vulnerabilities defenders already have, they still dare not rest easy. The longer attackers have known and analyzed the system, the more vulnerabilities they will find, and the system will become more dangerous.
This book can be used as both a textbook for graduate courses related to electronic information as well as a reference for scientific researchers engaged in relevant research. It helps graduate students majoring in electronics and information sciences to gain an understanding in dynamically-enabled cyber defense. Scientists and engineers specialising in network security research should also find this book to be a useful guide on recent developments in network security.
