Defused is a SaaS-based cyber deception platform developed by Aves Netsec for deploying and managing deception and moving target defense capabilities across on-premise and cloud networks. The platform operates by having users download and configure a virtual machine on their local or cloud network. This VM automatically deploys deception decoys into the network, which are connected to a central cloud-based management dashboard. Attacker activity detected by the decoys is transmitted to the dashboard via a one-way connection as security alerts. Key capabilities include: - Deployment of high-precision deception decoy sensors to detect threats with low false positives - Exploit decoys that simulate fake attack surface to detect how specific vulnerabilities are being targeted - Alert generation for attacker activity without agent-based monitoring requirements - Internal threat intelligence collection on attacker techniques and vulnerability exploitation patterns The platform targets multiple security roles including SOC operators, CISOs, infrastructure security managers, and risk managers. It is designed for environments where agent-based monitoring is unavailable or cost-prohibitive, including IT, OT, and IoT environments. Defused is offered with a free tier, with access available via self-signup.
