Canaries and Deception Technology

Why did the security industry stop talking about deception technology? And why should we start paying attention again? In this episode, Robby is joined by Andy Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Tracebit, to discuss the evolution of deception technology and its role in modern security. Andy explains how organisations can deploy canaries, honey tokens and other deceptive resources in their environments to generate high-fidelity alerts when attackers move laterally, escalate privileges or attempt to access credentials and sensitive data. These alerts are designed to be both simple and highly reliable: if someone touches a fake resource, something suspicious is happening. The conversation explores modern deception techniques, what these look like when customers deploy them in their SOCs, how realistic decoys can be customised for different environments and the next generation of deception technology.
