An increasing number of companies are looking at an innovative approach to deal with hackers that break into their computer networks. They lure cybercriminals into thinking they’re getting close to the good stuff—and then they trap them.“Manufacturing-plant technology is difficult to protect, because those mills, generators and turbines were built 20 years ago with little consideration for security,” says Land O’ Lakes Chief Information-Security Officer Tony Taylor.
So, the company uses a tool called DeceptionGrid, created by Boston-based cybersecurity shop TrapX. The technology deploys an array of decoys and booby traps throughout the Land O’ Lakes network that mimic crucial information, to convince hackers that they have gotten access to the company’s crown jewels.
“Once any of the [decoys] are accessed or probed in any way, one centralized console alerts us, so we know to start investigating the source of that activity,” says Mr. Taylor. His team can then contain the intruder.
They're only working on fixing this now because the pandemic has them bleeding money. It has always been an issue. 'This year they're really stepping up.'
Sounds good - the real key is to find the perpetrators & wipe them off the face of the planet.
Please tell me the strategy is called a “Honeybot”
horrible
u just spoilt their trap
