Despite an arsenal of cybersecurity technologies and mountains of security data, most companies still struggle to stop cyberthreats inside the network. Using “living off the land” techniques, cyberattackers are more savvy than ever in evading security monitoring and controls. You can’t predict where an attacker will break in, or where insider threats will break out, but you can detect attackers before a crisis occurs. And with a cyber deception strategy, it doesn’t have to be complex.
lllusive’s Attack Detection System (ADS) foils the attackers’ reconnaissance and lateral movement process. ADS automatically learns how endpoints are used by the business and then plants tiny pieces of fake data on every machine that blend in to the environment—data that appears useful to the attacker. As soon as the attacker tries to use any of these deceptions, the security team is alerted. Defenders, equipped with real-time forensics, know how far the attacker is from “crown jewels” and privileged credentials. They have precisely the data and context they need for efficient incident response.
