💡 Deception Technology Beyond Honeypots
Modern deception technology deploys fake credentials, decoy files, and breadcrumbs throughout production environments. When attackers interact with these deceptions, high-fidelity alerts trigger with virtually zero false positives.
💡 Network Telescope and Darknet Monitoring
Network telescopes monitor large blocks of unused IP address space. Since no legitimate traffic should reach these addresses, all observed traffic represents scanning, backscatter from spoofed attacks, or misconfiguration — providing pure signal for threat analysis.
