Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a proactive security solution, which can be utilized by cloud
computing in order to thwart cyber attacks. Many MTD techniques have been proposed, but
there is still a lack of systematic evaluation methods for assessing the effectiveness of the
proposed MTD techniques, especially when multiple MTD techniques are to be used in
combinations. In this paper, we aim to address the aforementioned issue by proposing an
approach for modeling and analysis of MTD techniques. We consider four security metrics …
