Lightweight Deception
PacketViper features agentless deception with software-based decoys and believable responses. Deployed with ‘point & click’ simplicity, decoys can be rotated based on a variety of factors including time, network, business, country or port to confuse attackers and create the appearance of a moving target. PacketViper can be deployed both internally (East-West) and at the perimeter (North-South) creating transparency that can then be acted upon. Only PacketViper offers this deception in all directions.
Heavyweight Results
Game-changing deception amplifies prevention, detection and response both internally and externally. On the perimeter PacketViper eliminates the attacker advantage of anonymity and can automatically prevent and block threats. Internal detection and response is equally as powerful, preventing data exfiltration and threat communications with command and control. Internal decoys also ensure digital trust with vendors needing to comply with policies while on the network.
Only PacketViper combines deception that is both internal and external facing. Internal decoys are lightweight, easily deployed and highly believable providing a less complex way to amplify threat detection and response capabilities with no false positives. Externally PacketViper creates the appearance of a moving target in front of the network with a dynamic set of decoys that vary based on a variety of factors, effectively reducing attack vectors and making the network much harder to size up for attack.

PacketViper is active deception generating automated responses based on both interior and exterior deception without complex orchestrations. When decoys are hit new threat intelligence is gathered and applied at wire speeds. Internally data exfiltration and connections to command and control are prevented while vendors on the network behaving suspiciously can be flagged and stopped to ensure digital trust. Externally threats performing reconnaissance scans are prevented from truly understanding the network or getting the chance to make it to the firewall or clutter up the SIEM.
Deception is a highly effective cyber defense approach that is underutilized because typical solutions are costly, complex and most importantly, don’t go to work until the threats are on the network. Practical cyber leaders are looking to keep threats off of the network. PacketViper pushes lightweight, agentless deception to the earliest stage of the kill chain – reconnaissance, to both detect threats and automatically respond.
Some in the industry think that deception is only the most sophisticated security teams. The prevailing thinking is that those without the means to perform extensive threat hunting, forensic analysis, and attribution investigations should avoid deception because they won’t be able to realize the value it can provide.
At PacketViper we firmly believe results count and our deception platform delivers high-impact results that enhance security for our customers. Our agentless, software based decoys, responses and sensors make networks harder to see, keeping threats off and relieving security operational burdens that result from unwanted, uninvited logs and alerts.

Don Gray recaps the Gartner® Security and Risk Management Summit 2019 commenting on three key points: deception prominently referenced in the keynote presentation, 7 imperatives of CARTA, and DevSecOps.
Internal and external cyber deception technology together is not your traditional approach to deception, nor to security in general. Since the days of honeypots, cybersecurity experts have utilized deception as a way to protect the network interior. Threat detection at the network perimeter, on the other hand, has seemingly been the role of firewalls. Read More...
Whatever you call the front, the ability to stop the enemy where you first face them is vital. A paired approach of deception both externally and internally represents a tremendous opportunity to reduce attack vectors and strengthen overall cyber defense.

Successful adoption of cyber deception as an impactful security tool, and more than just another data generating detection solution, demands avoidance of these four common delusions. .
There are plenty of news articles claiming botnets and zombie computers are taking over the world. While I do not necessarily agree with the allegation, I believe whole heartedly botnets are the driving force of all attacks. Botnet risk is at it’s all time high. By hook or by crook, the first goal for any attacker … Continue reading >>>
Vendor Risk is a relatively new anomaly. I sometimes wonder how we ever got through the 90’s. It seems like only a few years ago when vendors received a key, code, or swipe card to come through the front door of our buildings whenever they liked. We trusted them to do their job once inside. I … Continue reading >>>
Over the past several weeks I have been practicing what I preach about password protection. I changed all my passwords to each of my online accounts to a unique password with a minimum of 20 random characters. I thought this would be a fairly simple thing to do. I decided on a common password manager, … Continue reading >>>
