Cybersecurity has evolved from Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), emphasizing strict access controls and verification, to a more proactive model known as Preemptive Cyber Defense. Traditional security solutions are insufficient against advanced threats like zero-day exploits and fileless malware, which is where Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) comes into play. AMTD continuously alters an organization's attack surface, making it challenging for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. Integrating AMTD with ZTA enhances security posture by preventing credential theft, neutralizing zero-day threats, and reducing attack dwell time, marking a shift towards prevention over detection in cybersecurity.
