Cyber Deception | PacketViper

Dynamic Network Defense, Operational Cost Reduction and 3rd Party Risk Monitoring

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 solves important cybersecurity problems. PacketViper eliminates the attacker advantage of anonymity and can automatically block threats. Leverage network level deception to deceive threats as early in the kill chain as possible. Harvest the intelligence on those threats and apply it to block each new probing source in real-time, strengthening defense and reducing operational burdens from unwanted traffic. Use decoys to ensure vendors comply with policies while on the network.

PacketViper Deception Solves Critical Problems

Dynamic Defense. Deceive and stop attackers quickly at step one of the Cyber Kill Chain, at both the perimeter and interior, to automatically reduce noise, logging and alerting.

Vendor Risk Management. Manage third party IP traffic and apply new threat intelligence with ‘point & click’ simplicity. Decoys ensure vendors comply with risk policies while on your network. Continuously harvest and apply new threat intelligence from known and unknown sources based on real-time network activity.

Reduced Operating Costs. Enhance the performance of other essential tools such as firewalls, IDS/IPS and SIEM and check more security alerts with existing network security team resources.

Network Layer Deception

The network layer is where deception can solve meaningful security problems since it is pervasive, less complex, and more easily managed. PacketViper decoys and decoy responses can be configured to dynamically change to never provide an easily mapped, or accurate view of your network and services. This approach deceives threats, harvests their intelligence and blocks them.
No application-based deception platform delivers these types of results.

Deception at the cyber “front line”
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.

Four cyber deception delusions diminished
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. .
Remove botnets’ freedom to operate and manage botnet risk
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 – Times are a Changin’
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 >>>
Take password protection seriously and practice what you preach
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 >>>
FOR SALE: A much smaller cybersecurity haystack
It’s budget season. For enterprise cybersecurity teams that means getting ready to ask for more. In most cases, not enough, but definitely more budget to find the needles in the haystacks. And most likely, more of the same stuff you already have. Far too many cybersecurity leaders are going to ask their executive teams for drastically … Continue reading >>>
It’s time to take a different approach to utilizing threat intelligence
Threat Intelligence has gotten a lot of attention in the last few years. What is it? Who understands it? Is it actionable? Plus think about the substantial investment for security organizations to create such a perishable good and then actually using it to protect a network can be complicated. Don’t forget the numerous reports about … Continue reading >>>
