Corporate active defense
We evaluate your infrastructure and deploy custom decoys to detect intrusions before they cause damage. No commitment.
A digital decoy that simulates a real system (database, server, Active Directory) to attract attackers. When interacted with, it triggers alerts and redirects the threat without compromising authentic data.
Yes, as long as they do not contain real customer or personal information. They are built with fictitious records, fake credentials, and test files. Our deployments comply with Argentine data protection regulations.
High-interaction honeypots identify encryption patterns in real time. In our case with LockBit 3.0, the decoy isolated the segment before the ransomware reached the production servers.
No. The decoys are deployed in a separate virtual layer, without modifying existing firewalls, Active Directory, or databases. The integration is transparent for legitimate users.
Periodic updating of the decoy profiles (every 30-60 days) to prevent attackers from recognizing static patterns. We manage this cycle as part of the service.

Key differences compared to other solutions
Honeypots do not rely on databases of known threats. Any interaction with a decoy data is, by definition, an intrusion. This allows identifying zero-day attacks and lateral movements that traditional antivirus cannot see.
We do not use generic templates. Each deployment is tailored to the client's database, Active Directory, and processes. A financial honeypot simulates real transactions; an industrial one replicates SCADA tables. The attacker cannot distinguish the decoy from real data.
When a honeypot detects suspicious activity, the system isolates the compromised network segment in less than 2 seconds. It does not wait for the analyst to review the alert. This stops ransomware and exfiltration before they affect productive data.
Each implementation generates weekly reports with the number of interactions, attacker dwell time, and type of technique used. This data helps adjust the defense posture and demonstrate compliance in security audits.
Decoys run in independent containers without consuming resources from production servers. There is no additional latency or risk of false positives disrupting critical processes. Active defense runs in parallel without touching real systems.
Active Defense
Decoys capture lateral movements before the attacker reaches sensitive data. In real tests, the alert triggers in less than 2 seconds.
Average detection time: 1.8 sBy isolating legitimate traffic on a decoy network, the security team receives only alerts with real attack context. The false positive rate drops to 3%.
97% alert accuracyDecoy accounts with fictitious permissions detect privilege escalation attempts. Each authentication on a fake account triggers an automatic segment lock.
Over 10,000 accounts protectedHoneypots simulate backup servers. When ransomware tries to encrypt the decoy files, the system isolates the infected node in less than 500 ms.
Sub-second responseEach interaction with the decoy is recorded with complete metadata: IP, tools, commands, and timestamps. This allows reconstructing the attack chain.
Exportable reports in STIX 2.1Honeypots operate on an isolated network. Penetration tests and red team exercises do not affect production systems or cause downtime.
