Deception technology is a strategy to attract cyber criminals away from an enterprise’s true assets and divert them to a decoy or trap. The decoy mimics legitimate servers, applications, and data so that the criminal is tricked into believing that they have infiltrated and gained access to the enterprise’s most important assets when in reality they have not. Advantages of deception technology:

• Reduces attackers’ dwell-time
• Accelerate the time taken for detection and mitigation
• Lower chances of missing an alert
