The Defensys company updated its platform for digital imitation of IT infrastructure components Defensys Threat Deception Platform (TDP). The vendor added SCADA and Linux FullOS traps to the list of existing ones and also expanded the list of current lures templates.
There was a high increasing of the total number of cyberattacks focused on critical infrastructures in 2022. And consequences of such attacks can be very serious: leaks of confidential information, financial and reputational losses. Considering this statistics, the Defensys company developed the SCADA trap and added it to the latest TDP version. It helps to detect threats in infrastructures of industrial companies. Now users can create fake PLCs (programmable logic controllers) – crucial automation elements in the technological processes management. This way Defensys TDP now detects attacks focused on very specific assets that belong to IT and OT segments.
One more trap added by the vendor is Linux FullOS. It helps to create an emulated full operating virtual machine working under Linux based operating systems in the chosen network. Thus trap type can be the base for creating a lot of fake network elements tuned for customers’ specific needs. Furthermore, users now get lures in the form of saved browser credentials in MS IE and MS Edge Legacy.
“Developing the TDP product we strive to respond on every market feature requests. And the most of them are related to new traps and lures at the moment. Besides last year showed a significant increasing of cyberattacks on industrial companies. That’s why we developed these SCADA traps in the current version that help to detect cyber events that occur in any infrastructure including technological segments of companies” – says Alex Bond, CEO of Defensys.
