A new CISA guide on cyber decoys, tripwires, and honeytokens points defenders toward alerts that should only appear when someone touches what they should not.
CISA is urging organizations to use cyber decoys, a deception tactic meant to surface intruders earlier by making suspicious hands-on activity easier to spot.
New guidance highlights cyber decoys as a way to surface internal movement that can hide behind valid credentials and routine admin tools.
CISA’s guidance puts cyber decoys on the map as a practical defense layer that can help organizations detect, observe, and block suspicious activity without pretending they are a silver bullet.
