About

Detection and Mitigation of Targeted Cyberattacks

Illusive Networks uses deception technology to stop cyberattacks by detecting and disarming attackers, destroying their decision-making processes, and depriving them of the means to move laterally toward attack targets. Illusives deceptions are designed to eliminate high-risk pathways to critical systems, force attackers to reveal themselves early in the threat lifecycle, and capture real-time forensics that accelerate incident response. Illusive stops advanced threats by creating a hostile environment for attackers, depriving them of the means to progress toward critical assets after breaching the perimeter. Hackers are increasingly finding more vulnerabilities within an enterprises security stack, allowing them to move laterally within the network and conduct reconnaissance and exfiltration. Illusive identifies and removes the vulnerable connections and credentials that enable attackers to move undetected and then replaces them with deceptive versions that fool attackers into revealing their presence upon engagement. Unlike behavioral or anomaly-based threat detection, Illusives agentless approach captures deterministic proof of in-progress attacks and provides actionable forensics to empower a quick and effective response.
