💡 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.
💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
