Why Automated Moving Target Defense Is Emerging as a Zero Trust Essential

The report outlines Gartner’s 2025 Hype Cycle for Zero-Trust Technology, arguing that Zero Trust has become a strategic imperative and highlighting Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) as an emerging capability that proactively prevents in-memory and fileless attacks. It positions Morphisec’s AMTD and Adaptive Exposure Management (AEM) as a prevention-first, lightweight complement to Zero Trust that dynamically morphs runtime memory, integrates with existing EDR/AV, reduces exposure, and delivers business benefits such as fewer false positives, lower response costs, and improved resilience across IT, cloud, and OT/IoT environments.
