Honeypots: A Guide To Increasing Security
The State of Security
Honeypots are not a new idea. They have been part of the cybersecurity world for decades and have frequently gone in and out of “fashion” over that period. Recently, though, they have become an increasingly important part of vulnerability management.
That’s for a couple of reasons. Honeypots offer real-world data on the types of threats that companies face, and they can be a powerful research tool in identifying specific threat vectors. In a context where just 12% of ICS security pros are sure their firms can respond to digital attacks, identifying these specific vectors allows companies to dedicate resources to defeating the most dangerous threats they face.
Honeypots have also risen in popularity due to a simultaneous rise in adversarial cybersecurity techniques such as penetration testing. Rather than relying on general, passive protection systems, network administrators are now looking to test their cybersecurity in real-life, dynamic situations. Honeypots can be a very effective tool in these situations.
