[...] it’s critical for organizations – both large and small – to focus their cybersecurity strategy on earlier detection and faster response. One of the technologies trend that is promising to do this, is deception.
What is deception technology?
Sun Tzu said it best in his book on The Art of War: “All warfare is based on deception.”
5 ways deception is changing the cybersecurity landscape
Often people hear ‘deception’ and they immediately think of ‘honeypots’ – which is basically a static decoy that imitates a simple computer system and does nothing unless an attacker stumbles across it. However, deception technology has greatly improved beyond the honeypot concept today. How? By being active – both in luring and baiting attackers to a deception environment, as well as in the decoys.

Here are five ways deception technology is changing the cybersecurity landscape: [...]

How Deception Technology Gives You The Upper Hand In Cybersecurity

It is a long-held maxim in cybersecurity that the bad guys have the advantage. They only have to succeed once, but the good guys have to stop them every time. So it is always interesting and often important when a new method comes along that seeks to change that balance of power.

Deception technology gives defenders a rare advantage against attackers by doing something that other forms of cybersecurity don’t: Provide early and accurate detection by laying a minefield of attractive decoy systems and content to trip up attackers. This is all done within the organization’s networks and serves as a high-fidelity warning system of attacks that have bypassed perimeter security controls.

That is a great method. I do the same thing with my encrypted archives. By using somewhat easier passphrase entrances a hacker would gain acess and run with decoy stuff that leads to nothing valuable. The good stuff for me, and for the networks in your example might get ignored while the "bad guys" go down a rabbit hole. LOL!

Yes, I've also read somewhere, that French government used deception techniques with some success, when they tried to protect their elections from hackers. I guess that we'll see more of that being used in future.

5 Ways to Fight Back Against Cybersecurity Attacks: The Power of Active Defense

As I pointed out in my previous story, "How Deception Technology Can Give Defense the Upper Hand in Cybersecurity," deception-based cybersecurity systems allow defenders to play a much more proactive role when an attack is detected.

In this story, I’ll examine how an active defense strategy can be used to slow down, gather intelligence on, and ultimately outmaneuver an attacker.

Deception Technology: Worth the Investment?
Setting a Trap Works If Organizations Nurture the Right Bait
August 14, 2019
https://www.inforisktoday.com/deception-technology-worth-investment-a-12881

The buffet of IT security solutions is maddening - so many products, so many promises - but what will protect your organization?

Deception focuses on deploying assets - such as lures, bogus files, honeypots or simulated SCADA or IoT devices - in hopes of diverting attackers, imparting clues as to how the actual production resources may be or are actually under attack.
It's an attractive proposition in that by default, probes of fake IT assets are invariably not false positives and are quality alerts. But deception technology also isn't preventive. It's the equivalent of hearing a car window being broken in an alley.

But whether deception works for an organization depends on a variety of factors, including how well the deceptions are deployed and how much time an organization is willing to invest in maintenance and ensuring the intelligence translates into something actionable. Here are some aspects to keep in mind. [...]

Deception technology shifts power back to the defender

Users of deception technology reported a 12X improvement in the average number of days it takes to detect attackers operating within an enterprise network when compared to those unfamiliar with the technology, according to a research report conducted by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA).

Cybercriminals: Things are about to get a lot more confusing for you

There are three boxes on a table. Two are made of cardboard and sealed with packaging tape. The third is made of steel with a series of locks blocking entry. Obviously, you think, as an imaginary criminal, the goods are in the steel box. After successfully picking the locks, you realize there's nothing inside. As you stare into the empty box, authorities grab your arms from behind and, all of a sudden, you're in handcuffs.

7 Tips for Effective Deception

The growing ability of attackers to breach even well-defended enterprise networks has led to increased interest in deception technologies and tactics in recent years.

Deception tools basically use misdirection, false responses, and other tricks to lure attackers away from legitimate targets and point them to honeypots and other decoy systems designed to trap or distract them from their missions. Deception tools — many of which leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) — can help organizations detect intrusions early and provide them with an opportunity to observe an attacker's tools and tactics.

In a recent report, Mordor Intelligence estimated demand for deception tools would hit around $2.5 billion in 2025, from just under $1.2 billion in 2019.

"Deploying attractive lures and decoys amid the various network segments works much like the proverbial cheese or peanut butter in a mousetrap that's strategically placed along the kitchen baseboards," Moy says.
Here, according to Moy and others, are seven best practices for using deception to detect threats quickly.
