BELLEVUE, Wash. & NEW YORK (BUSINESS WIRE) #IT Increased automation afforded by newer security practices, such as

Moving

, can alleviate the IT skills shortage in enterprise organizations, according to research released today by

. The Business Impact Brief is titled

Innovations

in Security Can Supplement IT Skills Shortage

. Polyverse is the leading cybersecurity company using

Moving

to protect government and enterprise organizations.

451 Research is a leading information technology research and advisory

company focusing on technology innovation and market disruption.

The research brief links innovations in security, such as Moving Target

Defense, to supplementing the IT skills shortage. Enterprise

organizations have a shortage of IT administration and networking

skills, led by server/systems administration (43 percent) and DevOps (41

percent), according to a

2018

survey

by 451 Research.

“Such skills are the foundation of many practices that may mitigate the

overall volume of IT work, such as automated software patching and other

tasks to maintain healthy and resilient systems,” the 451 Research

Business Impact Brief states. “Increased automation afforded by newer

practices allows security teams to embed security into the IT

infrastructure, and to explore newer approaches that can result in

significant gains in time, skills and resources. One potential area

worth exploring is the concept of Moving Target Defense (MTD)…In

particular, the intrinsic security of MTD can help reduce many of the

burdens of patching.”

“Polyverse MTD transforms software from a static attack surface that is

unchanging and vulnerable to one that is diverse, constantly changing

and protected,” said Polyverse Founder and CEO Alex Gounares. “As a

result, crafted exploits targeting specific memory vulnerabilities do

not work, even when the application is left unpatched.”

Polyverse currently supports the entire linux stack over 70,000

programs and counting, injecting diversity into the software landscape

by randomizing the memory layout of the entire Linux system, without

changing performance or IT processes. Polyverse plans to start

supporting windows next year.
