What is Active Defense and Threat Hunting?

Active Defense:

Active defense is a proactive strategy that uses deception and other tactics to slow down, confuse, and disrupt attackers. By deploying tools like honeypots, fake vulnerabilities, and decoy servers, we create deceptive environments that divert attackers, waste their time, and expose their methods. This approach gives our defense team critical time to respond and neutralize real threats, ensuring attackers struggle to achieve their goals.

Threat Hunting:
Threat hunting adds more layers of security to your network by searching for advanced threats such as zero-day vulnerabilities or targeted advanced persistent threats (APTs) that may have escaped detection. Threat hunters analyze systems and networks for subtle indicators of compromise and unusual behavior, such as unusual login times, unexpected data transfers, or patterns that deviate from normal user behavior. This ensures that even if threats evade the first line of defense, we are always proactively searching for them.
Using both Active Defense and Threat Hunting allows us to alert our incident response team swiftly ensuring attackers are met immediately.

Deception Strategies We Use :

Deception strategies stall attackers and give us valuable time to eliminate the threat, some of the strategies we use are:

  • Honeypots: Fake, seemingly insecure endpoints that alert us when a security event is detected
  • Fake Vulnerabilities: these notify us if someone is attempting to gain unauthorized access
  • Fake Files/Information: false information that seems believable, and alerts us if it is moved or edited in any way
  • Decoy Servers: used for intelligence gathering to see what exploits and vulnerabilities attackers are using
  • Deceptive User Accounts: accounts that seem real with elevated privileges, however, only exist to monitor for unauthorized access.

Benefits of These Strategies:

In today’s fast-evolving cybersecurity landscape, staying ahead of emerging threats is crucial. With the average cost of a data breach in 2023 being $4.45 million (and costs expected to rise), now is the time to safeguard your business’s future with our advanced Virtual SOC features such as:

Honeypots:

Honeypots are fake systems designed to mimic vulnerable endpoints. They alert us to malicious activity and provide insights into attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), all while diverting threats from real assets.

Fake Vulnerabilities:

these are deliberately planted vulnerabilities that appear exploitable, however, they are not. When attackers attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities they expose their methods and presences allowing us to swiftly respond while learning more about how they operate.

Fake Files/Information:

We embed realistic yet false data/files into networks to lure attackers. These files are monitored for unauthorized access or modification. Any interaction with them generates alerts and gives us information about where attackers may have accessed and their objectives.

Decoy Servers:

decoy servers mimic real production servers and act as attractive targets for attackers. These servers are used to gather intelligence about the TTPs of attackers while helping us stay ahead.

Deceptive User Accounts:

Fake user accounts with appealingly elevated privileges are integrated into environments. These accounts are monitored and heavily restricted meaning any authorization attempts allow us to identify malicious actors.
