An Efficient Strategy for Deploying Deception Technology

This article introduces a methodology for maximizing the effectiveness of deception technology in detecting sophisticated cyber attacks and overcoming the limitation of intrusion detection systems’ ability. The proposed methods implement multi-layered deception techniques at different network, system, and application levels to enhance coverage and improve attack detection by using decoys that mimic real systems to attract and identify potential attackers. The method proposes dynamic adaptation to changes in the network environment and employs obfuscation to maintain the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. Implementing this method can provide organizations with an early warning system to respond quickly and mitigate potential damage from cyber attacks, and we shall prove that by performing multiple cyber attacks towards a network with an intrusion detection system and decoys, then compare the detection capability on both technologies.
