Deception technology is an outside-the-box cybersecurity approach that aims to turn the current paradigm on its head – from reactionary to proactive defense. It’s time for organizations to get proactive, and use deception technology to enhance the way they architect a comprehensive security strategy.

1. Cybersecurity 101:
An Introduction to
Deception Technology

2. Traditional,signature-based security
measures continue to fall prey to
sophisticated zero-day attacks and APTs.

3. Deception Technology
is an evolved form of cybersecurity which aims to
turn the current paradigm on its head –
from reactionary to proactive defense.

4. 4 Things Every CIO & CISO Should Know
About Deception Technology

Manipulating the One Thing
that Cyber Attackers Count On

6. 1 2 3 4
Attackers work on the assumption that the
infrastructure data they see is real.
Deception technology uses carefully
designed lures to attract attackers during
infiltration and instantly identify them.

Providing Instant Gratification

8. 1 2 3 4
With firewalls and antivirus software,it can
often take months to realize a breach occurred -
but deception technology triggers alerts the
moment an attacker “trips the wire”.

Going Beyond Digital Signatures

10. 1 2 3 4
The rise of APTs and zero-day attacks show
that attackers are too sophisticated to make
the same mistakes twice.
Deception technology exposes attackers to
ensure their strengths become weaknesses.

Simplifying the Solution Stack

12. 1 2 3 4
In-band security appliances often fail to
keep attackers out.
Deception technology eliminates this
issue,given that deceptive lures are
transparent to security staff and are
only used by the attacker.

13. Why deception technology
and why now?

14. According to research from the
Ponemon Institute,in the US alone,
companies experience an annual loss
of $15 million due to cyber crime.
$15
million

15. It’s clear that current cybersecurity methods
aren’t working as well as companies might
hope,and that a new approach is necessary.

16. Deception technology
is an “overlay” approach to cybersecurity
that can change the way many organizations
work to prevent data breaches,malicious
code and denial-of-service attacks.

17. With deception technology in place,
any organization can force attackers into a
world of unreliable data that renders
attacks useless.
