Honeypots & Deception Tools FAQ
Common questions about Honeypots & Deception tools, selection guides, pricing, and comparisons.
Honeypots deploy fake assets (servers, credentials, files, database records) that appear legitimate but have no production purpose. Any interaction with them is inherently suspicious, providing high-fidelity alerts with virtually zero false positives. Modern deception platforms deploy thousands of breadcrumbs and decoys across your environment, detecting lateral movement, credential theft, and reconnaissance that other tools miss.
