Abstract

Cybersecurity is in an unbalanced situation: It is easy to attack cybersecurity but difficult to defend it. Active defense technology is a new direction in cybersecurity research that has attracted more and more attention. This paper summarizes the development of active defense via the introduction of intrusion tolerance technology and moving target defense technology. We then introduce the theory, implementation, and testing of mimic defense. By comparing mimic defense with intrusion tolerance and moving target defense, we propose a research direction and a key point in the cybersecurity rebalancing strategy in order to provide a reference for the development of national cybersecurity.
