SCIT Labs Inc, spun out of George Mason University, is in development of Self- Cleaning Intrusion Tolerance technology. The firms primary technology is SCIT-MTD (SCIT Moving Target Defense) technology continuously changes the attack surface of servers making it difficult to get in and if they get in they do not have the time to continue and complete the attack. Using virtualization technology, SCIT-MTD rotates pristine virtual servers and applications at configurable intervals as low as every minute. For example, if an attacker is able to place malware on a server, the malware will be deleted without reliance on a detection processes. SCIT-MTD allows systems to continue working through an attack with automatic and rapid recovery to a clean state. SCIT-MTD enabled systems offer new protection from zero day vulnerability intrusions.
