CISA promotes a fresh way to deter cyberattackers: Lie to them
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released guidance on deploying cyber decoys, including honeytokens and fake systems, to detect and distract attackers who have gained network access. The 22-page document outlines decoy principles, definitions, deployment scenarios, and implementation steps suited for critical infrastructure organizations with limited resources. CISA positions decoys as a low-cost, high-fidelity detection method that complements zero-trust and assume-compromise security strategies.
Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators, especially those with constrained budgets and personnel, now have a framework to deploy honeytokens and decoy systems to improve detection of post-compromise attackers without significant investment.
