Challenges
To create a defence platform designed to accurately and efficiently detect targeted threats including reconnaissance, lateral movement, malware-less attacks, social engineering, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, and ransomware in real-time.
How can this technology help you?
Cyber deception is a deliberate and controlled act to conceal our networks, create uncertainty and confusion against the adversary’s efforts to establish situational awareness, and to influence and misdirect adversary perceptions and decision processes.
Cyber attacks come in many forms.
Deception provides a post-breach defense that is agnostic to the type of attack. Whether the attack is by spear phishing, drive-by download, or comes through from a connected device, deception lets you know there is someone inside your network looking to steal data.
Advantages
Pre-execution protection
Cyber deception makes use of machine learning techniques to analyse an organisation’s network and create deceptions that mirror-match the environment.
Stopping an attack
Traditionally, security detection tools have tended to activate only when an attack is already well underway. Deception-based detection is much more proactive and designed to detect criminal activity far earlier, typically raising a flag when an attacker looks to move from an initially infected system.
Removal and remediation
By using cyber deception techniques, IT teams can gain accurate alerts that are substantiated by the deception environment’s attack analysis and forensics. The ability to gather real-time intelligence is a unique benefit of deception and is extremely valuable for gaining the upper hand against criminals.
Making use of threat intelligence
Cyber deception goes well beyond traditional security alerts by gathering adversary intelligence so that defenders can quickly understand an attack and fortify their defenses against it.
Post-attack investigation
To assist with post-incident evaluation, and future planning and response, cyber deception techniques can record all attack activity and provide irrefutable proof of unauthorised access or policy violations.
