Computer viruses+Operating systems → Moving target defense

The US federal cybersecurity research plan names the moving target one of four “game-changing” themes: systems must become “less deterministic, less homogeneous, and less static” in order to “substantially increase the cost of attacks” — nitrd.gov ↗

• Cybersecurity / Stephen Winchell: “Finding vulnerabilities and patching codebases using current methods is slow, expensive, and depends on a limited workforce – especially as adversaries use AI to amplify their exploits. AIxCC-developed technology will give defenders a much-needed edge in identifying and patching vulnerabilities at speed and scale”
• Cybersecurity / Bruce Schneier: “We have long taken it for granted that we have time to patch systems after vulnerabilities become known … This is no longer the case. … these developments threaten to tip the scales completely. We’re potentially looking at a singularity event for cyber attackers”
