How does deception technology enhance cybersecurity defenses?

Deception technology works by deploying various decoys, traps, and misinformation throughout an organization’s network to lure and confuse cyber attackers. These deceptive elements appear as legitimate assets to attackers, leading them to interact with the decoys instead of actual critical systems or data. By engaging with the decoys, attackers reveal their presence, tactics, and objectives, allowing security teams to study their behavior, gather intelligence, and fortify defenses. This proactive approach not only disrupts attackers’ efforts but also helps organizations better understand their adversaries and enhance overall cybersecurity posture.
