Deploying Deception in the Enterprise Network

The goal is to have a deception layer that blends into your current environment and adapts itself as the real network changes. The concept of honey pots and deception in IT security has been around for about two decades. The idea is to place a fake asset in your network and then wait for attackers to interact with it. No one is supposed to know about this fake asset, so any access to it is a high-fidelity alert. This is a great idea in theory, but like the saying goes, the devil is in the details. In practice, there are drawbacks that made honey pot deployment not worth the effort.
