Deception Technology

Deception technology plants fake assets, credentials, and data across a network to lure attackers into revealing themselves. Any interaction with a decoy is, by definition, suspicious, because legitimate users have no reason to touch it.

Traditional defenses try to keep attackers out. Deception assumes some will get in and turns the environment against them:

• Decoys waste the attacker time and effort.
• Every touch is a high-confidence alert.
• Defenders learn the attacker techniques.
