Preface
Distributed Systems are complex systems, and cyber attacks targeting these systems have devastating consequences. Several cybersecurity solutions have failed to protect distributed systems primarily due to asymmetric warfare with cyber adversaries. Most cybersecurity solutions have to grapple with the tradeoff between detecting one breach vs. blocking all possible breaches. Current cyber threats are sophisticated and comprised of multiple attack vectors caused by organized attackers. Most of the current cyber defenses are blackbox or set-and-forget approaches which can protect against zero-day attacks and are ineffective against dynamic threats. The asymmetric conundrum is to determine which assets (software, embedded devices, routers, back-end infrastructure, dependencies between software components) need to be protected. Recently, Moving Target Defense (
