We didn’t invent AMTD.
We’ve just been doing it for 10 years.
Gartner named Moving Target Defense. PacketViper patented it before the category existed.
Citations and credibility
Gartner named Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) as an emerging technology category — PacketViper has been shipping production AMTD for over a decade. PacketViper was named a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® report “Emerging Tech: Adoption Trends in Preemptive Cyber Defense.”
Gartner’s take on AMTD: dynamically shifting network configurations, deployed assets, and service characteristics to prevent attackers from gaining stable footholds. PacketViper has been shipping this since before the report was written.
“Analyst recognition matters to procurement teams. The category that analysts now call AMTD was being built and deployed by PacketViper while most of today’s competitors were still pitching slideware.”– Internal Statement
Leading before there was a leaderboard
- Named in Gartner emerging technology categories for AMTD
- 10+ years of production AMTD deployments before the analyst category existed
- Patented approach to continuous surface rotation and automated infrastructure depletion
- Recognized by Frost & Sullivan for innovation in network security
Real-world performance benchmarks
Connections per second – real-world throughput, not theoretical.
Events handled in 26.94 GiB – historical context available immediately, not in batch reports.
Survived a Mandiant red team engagement – not a simulation, but an actual test of AMTD in production.
Enterprise scanner noise reduction in under an hour – quantifiable visibility improvement.
In their own words
“PacketViper is the only technology we have in our entire stack that puts actual hard dollar cash back into our budget. It pays for itself within the first week of the year.”— ISO, Energy Sector
“PacketViper gave us real control over what happens on our network in real time. We’re no longer waiting on alerts and tickets. Threats are contained immediately, and our teams trust the signal because there’s no noise.”— CISO, Regional Electric Utility
“Most security tools are designed for IT and struggle in OT environments. PacketViper works inline, understands our operational constraints, and protects legacy systems we can’t patch without downtime.”— OT Security Manager, Power Generation
“PacketViper made CIP-015 practical for us. We can demonstrate internal network monitoring, automated response, and high-fidelity detection without deploying agents or disrupting operations.”— NERC CIP Compliance Lead, Investor-Owned Utility
“The traffic reduction alone was eye-opening. Within weeks, PacketViper cut a massive amount of unwanted noise before it ever hit our firewalls.”— Director of Network Operations, Transmission Operator
“Zero false positives from deceptive interactions. Every alert meant something. That alone changed how my team works day to day.”— SOC Manager, Critical Infrastructure Provider
Reports tell you we’re in the right category.
Our benchmarks tell you we win in production.
Don’t take the analyst report’s word for it – or ours. Run a POC and measure it yourself.
PacketViper operates across several analyst-defined categories: Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD), OT/ICS Security, Network Detection and Response (NDR), Deception Technology, and Critical Infrastructure Protection. The company's integrated approach spans multiple categories because no single analyst category adequately captures a platform that delivers inline enforcement, AMTD, deception, and OT-native security simultaneously.
Gartner defines AMTD as a proactive security technique that continuously shifts system characteristics to increase uncertainty and complexity for attackers, disrupt their reconnaissance efforts, and reduce the viability of attack vectors. PacketViper's patented implementation applies AMTD at the network enforcement layer – the only production-deployed network-layer AMTD platform in the market.
