The Product: The What
Dynasec brings in Moving Target Defense to the infrastructure by rotating servers and operating systems at “n” seconds intervals – making it very difficult for hackers to attack the rotating servers and their changing OS.
In case of Zero day attacks, Dynasec’s cyber security solution can remove the vulnerable systems from operation and maintain availability of the rest of the infrastructure.
The rotation also can help uptime in case of DDOS attacks – unlike several recent incidents where the websites had to be taken offline.
Technology
Protect your network and data with a cyber security solution that transforms your static infrastructure into a moving target.
Dynasec’s solution defends against zero-day and DDOS cybersecurity attacks by using software-defined networking to manipulate network paths that service user requests.
By randomly selecting which server and service will respond to a given user’s request, it makes it more difficult for an attacker to perform reconnaissance and identify which services to attack. It also increases resilience to vulnerabilities by not guaranteeing that an attacker exploit will be routed to the vulnerable software. If the exploit is routed somewhere other than where the attacker intended, the attacker would then have to repeat it in hopes of reaching the vulnerable software; these repeated attacks are more likely to be noticed. Finally, it makes it easier to administer an MTD by rotating servers and services at the network layer, which eliminates the need to install and maintain configuration software on each host in rotation. This, in turn, reduces complexity and increases the amount of software available for the rotation.
Unlike the current MTD solutions that address application level and user level moving target defense, Dynasec’s solution addresses the core infrastructure defense – rotating the servers for each user access – just like moving goal posts in soccer, making it difficult for the kicker to aim.
In addition to the rotating servers, Dynasec’s solution goes one step further and enables rotation of operating systems each user access – that is similar to changing “goal keepers” for each kick, in addition to moving the goal posts – so the kicker cannot just identify the weaknesses of one goal keeper and plan the kick ahead of time.
Therefore, Dynasec’s solution makes it very difficult for hackers and is a paradigm shift in cyber defense.
Applications
Protecting critical assets from cyber attack.
Dynasec’s solution can essentially transform static infrastructure at these entities, to moving targets – in an expedited manner. And, address the ongoing cyber attacks in the following industry verticals:
- Military/Govt – the DHS initiative and President’s exec orders clearly emphasize that the Defense and Govt agencies need to enhance their cyber defenses. The recent Solar Winds exploits have exposed the vulnerabilities in these systems.
- Healthcare & Finance – ongoing cyber attacks exposing millions of health and financial records, point to vulnerable systems in these industries.
- Public Utilities: A recent hack into a Florida Water system enabled the hacker to change the chemical composition in the water supply – exposing the vulnerable systems currently at our utilities.
