Deception and it’s Applicability in the Cyber Realm

The use of deception has been a major success factor for cyber-attackers and has been used by them for decades. Gartner predicted last year that cybersecurity spending would grow to approximately $124 billion (US Dollars) and by 2022 would hit $170.4 billion (US Dollars), yet the breaches continue to stack up globally. During this session the speaker will discuss why new trends are taking place to counter the ongoing breaches and provide more effective detection across the enterprise. Deception-based threat detection is entering the mainstream as a primary detection control for lateral movement and insider threats. Users are reporting a high confidence for detecting threats and are seeing dwell times reduce over 91% compared to non-users. This session will explore what deception technology is, what it does, who is recommending it, and why it matters.
