The art of deception networks: New technique snares cyberattackers

Deception networks are being used by security professionals to attract and slow down cyberattackers and make it easier to catch them. Deception networks involve placing traps throughout a network that appear real to attackers, but actually delay and detect their movement. This proactive approach to cybersecurity assumes attackers are already in the network and allows for early detection and mitigation of cyberattacks. The use of deception networks can help protect sensitive data and minimize the impact of cyberattacks on healthcare organizations.
