Thinkst Applied Research

Thinkst Applied Research is a company that develops deception-based security tools designed to help defenders detect breaches early. Their product suite includes: **Thinkst Canary** A hardware/software-based honeypot solution that deploys in under 3 minutes, even on complex networks. It acts as a high-fidelity indicator of compromise by alerting defenders when an attacker interacts with it. **Canarytokens** A free tool that generates deception tokens (traps embedded in files, URLs, or other resources). When an attacker accesses a token, it alerts the defender — effectively having the attacker announce their own presence. **OpenCanary** An open-source daemon that runs multiple canary services. When these services are accessed, alerts are triggered and sent to configurable destinations such as Syslog, email, or the OpenCanary-correlator companion daemon. **ThinkstScapes** A vendor-neutral research and threat intelligence newsletter that provides context, commentary, and guidance on key information security events and research findings.
