Deception

WHAT IS DECEPTION TECHNOLOGY IN CYBERSECURITY?

Deception technology is the cornerstone of a proactive cyber defense. It allows oganizations to mislead, detect, and defeat cyber-attacks, and then quickly return to normal IT operations. Most importantly, deception technologies provide insight into malicious activities that could otherwise evade detection within IT networks.

WHY DO I NEED DECEPTION TECHNOLOGY?

Today’s digital adversaries are more sophisticated and they do significantly more damage to the businesses they impact. Modern cyberattackers also hide deep within digital environments for longer periods of time. This typically gives them plenty of time to study vulnerabilities, and ultimately wreak extreme havoc for unwary organizations.

Deception technology is used to lure or divert digital adversaries away from an organization’s real IT assets. It enables you to deploy traps and lures to reshape the network attack surface and confuse cyberattackers. Decoys mimic legitimate elements of your IT environment—such as endpoints, network, cloud—so the intruder believes he is interacting with the real thing. This gives your IT security team the near real-time ability to study an adversary’s behavior and detect, analyze, or defend against zero-day and advanced cyberattacks.

WHAT ARE THE KEY CAPABILITIES OF DECEPTION TECHNOLOGY?

Deception technology must help you identify and block sophisticated digital adversaries before they can damage critical infrastructure and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Your deception platform must:

Enable you to deceive cybercriminals and lure them into a trap and non-winning environment
Keep cybercriminals and other rogue actors off-balance and ineffective at all levels of cyber warfare
Improve your ability to detect and track their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
Dynamically change and re-address the cyber terrain from endpoint to cloud
Confuse and delay adversaries by providing constantly changing Deception decoys

FIDELIS DECEPTION TECHNOLOGY IS THE ANSWER

Fidelis Deception enables you to easily reshape the attack surface and lure, detect and defend earlier in the attack lifecycle. With Fidelis Deception, you can automatically deploy traps and lures to slow down, confuse and stop attackers. With Fidelis Deception natively integrated into your XDR platform, SOC teams can shift to a proactive cyber defense and easily find, deceive, and neutralize advanced cyber threats.

Fidelis Deception Technology allows you to:

Create and deploy authentic deception layers automatically
Expose your attacker in minutes to protect your organization’s valuable assets
Attract and trap cyber adversaries, malicious insiders, and automated malware at the deception layer

At Fidelis, we believe that if you want a different outcome to the battle, reshape the attack surface and change the game.

THE FIDELIS DIFFERENCE

PROACTIVE CYBER DEFENSE

Fidelis Deception has been combined with Network Detection and Response (NDR) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) in Fidelis Elevate, an active XDR platform.

Our Active XDR platform brings together three powerful cybersecurity technologies to help organizations change the game to their advantage. Fidelis customers can seamlessly create clones of their subnets and assets that can be populated with fake user accounts and directories, and then lay down breadcrumbs for anyone who is trying to discover the network, and giving warning when an adversary is on the network.

Integrated deception capabilities make it easier to detect, respond, and neutralize cyber-attacks while adding cost and complexity to the attacker—making it harder for them to cause damage. Not only can organizations counter current cyberattacks, but they can learn more about their digital adversaries and prepare for new attacks in the future. Regardless of the tactics or technology adversaries use, Fidelis Deception will always be there to detect adversaries and lead them away from your assets.
