💡 XML External Entity (XXE) Attacks
XXE vulnerabilities in XML parsers allow attackers to read local files, perform SSRF, and execute denial of service attacks. Many legacy applications and APIs remain vulnerable to XXE due to insecure default XML parser configurations.
💡 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.
