CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams that treat Active Directory as a detection problem, not just a hardening problem, should evaluate AD Tripwires. It deploys honeypot objects directly into AD to catch reconnaissance and lateral movement before it reaches production assets, and the integration with Horizon3.ai's NodeZero platform means you validate that your tripwires actually work against your real attack surface. Skip this if your team lacks the AD expertise to maintain decoy objects or if you're looking for a tool that also handles response automation; AD Tripwires is detection and alerting only.
Security teams running flat or segmented networks who need to stop attackers before they reach production assets should deploy Deception360 for its agentless inline posture and automated kill-chain interception without requiring a SOAR. The platform covers DE.AE and DE.CM equally, meaning it detects intrusions and prevents lateral movement in the same workflow, which is rare in deception tools that typically excel at one. Skip this if your organization needs external threat intelligence feeds as a primary input; Deception360 generates IOCs from internal deceptions, not third-party threat data, so it works best as a detection amplifier alongside existing monitoring, not a replacement for it.
