Great news
coming out of IES today. We are now taking preorders for the IES
HoneyPot. Now you can setup a "sting" operation 24/7 on your network,
often alerting you - and us - of an issue before it becomes a real
problem.
What is a honeypot you ask?
"It's a sacrificial computer system that’s
intended to attract cyberattacks, like a decoy. It mimics a target for
hackers, and uses their intrusion attempts to gain information about
cyber criminals and the way they are operating or to distract them from
other targets".
Despite the compact size of our honeypot device, it looks like a real computer system to hackers - with applications and
data, fooling cyber criminals into thinking it's a legitimate target. For
example, a honeypot could mimic a company's customer billing system, a
frequent target of attack for criminals who want to find credit card
numbers. Once the hackers are in, they can be tracked, and their
behavior assessed for clues on how to make the real network more secure.
It
is important to note that a honeypot isn't set up to address a specific
problem, like a firewall
or anti-virus software. Nor is it meant to replace these network
necessities. Instead, it's an information tool that can help you
understand existing threats to your business and spot the emergence of
new threats. With the intelligence obtained from a honeypot, security
efforts can be prioritized and focused.
WE ARE GIVING THESE DEVICES AWAY
