Report mentions that moving target defense use will increase as cybersecurity buyers turn to more advanced solutions to thwart the growing range and volume of cyberattacks

Morphisec, the world’s leading provider of breach prevention solutions for midsize enterprises, announced it has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in the recently published Gartner report Emerging Technology: Critical Insights on Moving Target Defense (MTD) for Application Security. Gartner Emerging Technologies and Trends reports highlight the technologies and trends that have the most potential to disrupt a broad cross-section of markets. Gartner defines MTD “as a technology trend whereby dynamic or static permutations, morphing, transformations, or obfuscations are used to deflect attacker exploitation techniques.”

This is due to three MTD benefits highlighted in the report:

• Easy to Implement: MTD technologies can generally be integrated into these software-defined approaches with little disruption or refactoring.
• Complementary: Most MTD solutions do not require replacing or abandoning elements of broader security solutions. They tend to complement existing investments with minimal overlap or secondary impact.
• Scalable: MTD technologies work by deflecting attacks, and as a result, security analysts are not overwhelmed as systems scale up.

“We’re thrilled to be included in this Gartner Emerging Technology report as we pride ourselves on taking a radically different yet proven approach to cybersecurity. Our proactive, prevention-first defense for lean IT and security teams is powered by our patented Moving Target Defense technology,” said Ronen Yehoshua, CEO of Morphisec. “Today, Morphisec’s lightweight Moving Target Defense architecture is deployed across more than 8 million endpoints, stopping 15,000 to 30,000 advanced attacks per day. It seamlessly complements and enhances the native security features of Windows and other NGAV solutions to automatically prevent breaches and reduce the management burden on IT staff.”

“Moving target defense is especially relevant right now given its efficacy in preventing the growing number of unknown attacks, ransomware, and other advanced threats that Next Generation Antivirus (NGAV) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions cannot stop,” said Michael Gorelik, CTO of Morphisec and head of threat research. “These are the most dangerous types of threats and they now account for 80% of successful enterprise breaches. Unlike signature-based protection, Morphisec’s Moving Target Defense technology perpetually hides vulnerabilities and weaknesses from threat actors, to stop these damaging breaches before they even begin.”
