Network Deception Technologies

Deception Technology Overview

Network deception deploys decoy systems, data, and credentials detecting attackers through interaction with fake assets. Deception provides high-fidelity alerts as legitimate users don't access decoys, reducing false positives.

Deception Components

Deploy honeypots (decoy systems), honeytokens (fake credentials/data), honeyports (fake services), breadcrumbs (lures), and deception networks. Distribute decoys throughout network mimicking real assets attracting attackers.

Implementation Strategy

Place deceptive assets in strategic locations, mimic production environment, ensure decoys are believable, isolate decoys preventing pivot to production, and integrate with SIEM for alert correlation and response.

Detection Capabilities

Deception detects reconnaissance, lateral movement, credential theft, data access attempts, and insider threats. Any interaction with decoys indicates compromise or malicious activity warranting immediate investigation.

Advanced Deception

Advanced techniques include active deception responding to attackers, adaptive deception changing based on threat intelligence, deception at scale using automation, and deception analytics identifying attacker TTPs through decoy interactions.
