Rapid7 InsightIDR’s deception technology strengthens detection by deploying decoys such as honeypots, honey users, honey credentials, and honey files that mimic real assets but should never be accessed. Interaction with these triggers high-fidelity alerts, exposing attackers early and slowing them with misdirection. Honeypots divert malicious traffic, honey users detect brute-force attempts, honey credentials expose stolen password use, and honey files act as bait for intruders targeting sensitive data. These tools provide early compromise detection, file-level visibility, and incident response validation, enhancing InsightIDR’s broader SIEM and XDR capabilities to stop attackers earlier in the kill chain.
