Deception Technology for Cybersecurity Defence

Microminder uses cyber deception technology to place decoys across your networks. Take advantage of our deceptive emulations to trap and isolate attackers.

What is Deception Technology Services?

Deception technology is one of the most effective methods of detecting and terminating activities by malicious activities. As cyber crimes become more sophisticated and advanced, organisations must adopt a proactive approach to IT infrastructure security.

Tasks Performed by Attacker Deception Technology

Microminder’s deception technology solutions perform three core tasks when for lateral movement defence:

Preempt cyberattacks

Our cybersecurity deception technology preempts attacks by discovering and removing cached credentials, network connections and possible attack pathways.

Detect ongoing IT infrastructure attacks

Our security technicians implement deception tactics and decoys to disorient and mislead malicious actors. They are led into believing they have successfully accessed your network and eventually reveal themselves.

Respond to security breaches

We use powerful AI technology to provide information about the source and the target of cyberattacks. This enables your organisation to respond effectively to criminal activity and remediate incidents.

Microminder’s Attacker Deception Technology Approach

Microminder uses a systematic approach to deception technology that involves the following steps:

After consultations with your organisation’s management and IT security team, we weave deceptive technology software into your network. We use various types of intruder traps, including:

Honey users
Honeypots
Honey credentials
Honey files

Hacktivists are tricked into interacting with fake assets, where they use scanning tools for internal surveillance to determine their lateral movements. The detection tools detect the usage of these scanning tools and alert security teams of a breach.

We use leading cybersecurity deception technology to define a honey user or decoy account with a common name linked to administrators. Hackers will usually try to guess the passwords to such accounts, but any login attempts trigger alerts.

Attackers are able to launch a pass-the-hash attack or clear text credentials without the use of malware. Microminder teams inject honey credentials on your network’s endpoints to keep track of intruder activity. You will be automatically alerted if any of these fake credentials are used.

The ultimate goal of cybercriminals is to exfiltrate sensitive information. They do this by zipping and copying files to a cloud storage account or external server. By specifying honey files, we give you the ability to monitor activity on fake files and keep authentic assets secure.

After bad actors have accessed the deception environment, they cannot enter your business’ real IT environment. Deception tools lock them out of your network, and we can determine their target and method of entry through threat intelligence techniques.

Key Features of Effective Deception Technology Products

Although the deception technology industry is fairly small compared to other cybersecurity solutions, deception technology companies are thriving. As more products are developed, the global deception technology market is expected to hit $4.15 billion (£3.5 billion) by 2026. It may seem like a daunting task to navigate this space when looking for the best deception technology for cyber defence.

Microminder offers the most advanced deception products that meet and exceed the key requirements of effective deception technologies. These requirements include:

Like many other businesses, you might have various security tools that work concurrently to protect your systems. From threat detection and prevention tools to firewalls and vulnerability management software, these tools are essential to the security of your network. Before investing in deception technology products, confirm that they can easily share data with your existing tools.

Microminder creates deception technology that is agile and flexible. This means it works across all vulnerable areas of your IT infrastructure. These include:

Resources on your premises
Network equipment
Cloud-based applications
IoT devices
Endpoints

An organisation's deception technology should be applied across your entire IT environment for maximum coverage. As you scale up your operations, your security systems also need to adapt and expand accordingly. Our deception technology solutions are easily scalable and can be customised to fit the needs of organisations of all sizes.

As your organisation grows, the number of endpoints increases, all of which will ideally have individual decoys. Managing these decoys can become a very complicated, time-consuming process. Look for deception technology companies that offer centralised management of decoys via a centralised console.

Successful deception technology implementation must remain invisible to the attacker. If they suspect that they are interacting with deceptive assets, they may launch more brutal attacks or use more advanced hacking tools to evade traps.

Benefits of Using Deception Technology

Leveraging high-tech deception technology software allows your organisation to institute swift incident detection and response before attackers access actual IT resources. You will be able to understand attacker behaviour and gain insights for effective responses to future breaches.

Some major benefits provided by using expert deception technology providers such as Microminder include:

Offers efficient early attacker detection that provides key insights and allows for prompt termination of attacks.
Enables security experts to respond quickly to threats as soon as they are detected.
Reduces the number of incident alerts allowing infosec teams to focus on high-risk threats.
Streamlines remediation activities by providing a clear view of attacks to enable thorough investigations.
Removes threat detection blind spots within your security infrastructure.
Provides accurate reporting and metrics around indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to simplify attack response.
Decreases the number of false positive alerts and reduces alert fatigue.
Gives tech teams an opportunity to observe attack techniques in real time and gather intelligence on hackers’ tools, techniques and procedures to protect valuable assets.
