Deception technology, such as honeypots, is vital to improve the detection of breaches. A honeypot looks like a real system with applications and data. However, it is designed to detect, deflect, and even counteract unauthorised access to the network. It lures hackers into the system, that is typically ring-fenced from the broader network, to see how they gained access and use that to shore up the business defences. In other words, a network intrusion detection system will complement your existing security infrastructure.
