Honeypots —

Honeypots are security measures that aim to divert the efforts of hackers through falsified yet valuable-looking targets isolated from the central infrastructure. Working on the same principle as a fake door leading into a house, the IT team gets notified that a breach is occurring when threat actors try to hack the system through a honeypot. Such insight can provide teams with information regarding the origin and techniques of the intrusion. 

Generally, there are two distinct types of honeypot:

Production Honeypots. The most common type that businesses use. While lacking in sophistication, production honeypots are easy to deploy and provide basic information about an attempted attack, such as IP addresses, traffic volume, and intrusion attempt times and dates.

Research Honeypots. More complex and challenging to design and use, research honeypots provide much information for teams about attempted attacks. This enables cybersecurity specialists to identify any weaknesses in the system and detail the varied methods hackers use to gain access. The benefit of these insights is the highly relevant information delivered, allowing IT professionals to study and enhance the resilience of the systems they maintain.
