With thousands of breaches occurring annually, organizations must get creative when it comes to building a comprehensive and adaptive security defense plan. Detecting threats early inside any environment is critical to prevent data exfiltration and other type of damage to an organization’s infrastructure.
As such, deception is one of the most successful cybersecurity techniques you can apply today to your line of defense. Deception techniques use misleading tactics to lure attackers, from fake network environments to honeypots, the goal is to catch undesired activity and malicious actors operating undetected while collecting information to help dissect any attack.
