Deception Technology is a cybersecurity technology that helps protect organizations by using "decoys" strategically placed within the network to lure malicious actors (hackers) into fake paths or systems, rather than allowing them to access the organization’s real critical data.

The system creates simulated devices or data, such as servers or laptops, designed to look realistic and trick attackers. When an attack attempt is made and the intruder is trapped, the system sends alerts to security devices to block access while also logging the intruder's behavior and methods for analysis.

By using Deception Technology, organizations can detect intrusions early, before any real damage occurs, and can plan an appropriate response in a timely manner. This makes it an essential tool for effectively enhancing network security.
