How Attivo Stops Reconnaissance Attacks
Attackers who successfully compromise an internal system look to move laterally for other hosts to target. They look for systems on the network and identify services that they can attack by scanning or probing for responsive IP addresses and open ports.
The ThreatDefend platform’s network decoys identify host and port scans as soon as attackers attempt them. The platform also makes every endpoint part of the detection fabric by alerting and redirecting connection attempts that interact with closed port to open ports and services on decoy for engagement. These alerts happen early in the attack cycle, giving security teams the opportunity to respond to lateral movement activity before the attackers can infiltrate further.
Awards for Credential Attack Protection and Detection
Detect and Redirect Attacker Reconnaissance
Early detection and misdirection of attackers attempting reconnaissance to discover assets to compromise. Stops east-west lateral movement of threats.
Benefits
Early Attack Detection
-
Get alerted on host and port scans when attackers attempt them.
Attack Redirection
-
Deflect connections that touch closed ports to open ports on decoys for engagement
Misinform Discovery Activity
-
Deny accurate host fingerprinting and show disinformation during discovery attempts.
Expand Detection Net
-
Make every endpoint a part of the detection fabric to identify reconnaissance and lateral movement activity.
