<\/a><\/p>\nCybersecurity has never been a bigger concern for enterprises and large organizations. Security breaches constantly make headlines, as hackers manage to steal sensitive information, valuable assets, and confidential trade secrets.<\/p>\n
As these threats get more sophisticated, security systems need to invent new tactics and build a better mousetrap\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what deception security technology does.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deception security offers an ingenious new way to deter would-be attackers and defend your data. Just like a mousetrap attracts vermin with a tantalizing treat, deception tech baits hackers with what appear to be real assets\u2014only to misdirect them and shut down access to your actual data.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s deception technology advanced from old-school honeypots\u2014a tried and true security mechanism that\u2019s been around for decades. But while honeypots were complex and limited, emerging deception solutions are increasingly automated and intelligent. According to Gartner, \u201cnew techniques and capabilities promise to deliver game-changing impact.\u201d The research firm also predicts that by 2018, \u201c10% of enterprises will use deception tools and tactics.\u201d Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like an undercover cop who\u2019s pretending to collude with a criminal, deception security solutions fool hackers into thinking they\u2019ve infiltrated your system and are on the way to ill-gotten gains. These systems emulate fake servers, assets, and applications that are easier to access than your actual network.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With multiple traps spread across every security layer in the kill chain, it\u2019s hard for hackers to resist your alluring\u2014but fake\u2014assets. Once they do, the deception security system sends an alert to your IT staff while immediately walling off your real data.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the genius part: instead of simply shutting the hacker out, deception security solutions divert them to a sandbox\u2014a fake environment that mimics an actual network without offering any valuable data. Intruders waste their time and energy wandering through this maze, giving you more time to understand and effectively neutralize the threat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow Deception Security Systems Protect Your Data\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n
