Deception technology plants decoy devices, credentials and files, such as honeypots and canary tokens, that nobody legitimate should ever touch. Any interaction with them is a high-confidence alert.
My pickThinkst CanaryThinkst Canary offers hardware, virtual and cloud honeypots that take minutes to deploy and rarely raise false alarms.
Enterprise deception platforms deploy large decoy networks, while lightweight options drop a few realistic decoys and tokens in minutes. Compare how believable the decoys are and how few false positives they produce.
Why it works
Attackers usually spend time exploring a network before they strike. A decoy that alerts on first touch shortens that window dramatically, with almost no alert fatigue.
What to look for
Its alerts should have essentially no false positives.
Its decoys should match your real environment, such as Windows servers, file shares and cloud keys.
