Market Overview

Deception technology is a proactive cybersecurity approach that aims to detect and mitigate threats by deceiving attackers. It involves deploying decoy systems, networks, and data that appear authentic to lure hackers away from critical assets. These decoys mimic real IT environments and contain traps, false information, and alert mechanisms. By engaging attackers and diverting their attention, deception technology provides early warning signals and valuable insights into their tactics, techniques, and motives. It enhances threat detection, shortens incident response times, and reduces the risk of successful attacks. Deception technology complements traditional security measures like firewalls and antivirus software, offering an additional layer of defense against sophisticated cyber threats. Its adoption has become increasingly crucial in safeguarding organizations from emerging and evolving cyber risks.
