How to set up a cybersecurity honeypot for your business

Honeypot techniques have been used in cybersecurity for decades to catch cyber attackers or malicious actors attempting to gain unauthorised access to a company network. The principle is incredibly simple: rather than trying to hunt attackers outright, IT teams can prepare an enticing area within the network and wait for the bad actors to come to them. Though far from new, this strategy remains high on the threat intelligence agenda, with bodies including AWS and the National Grid recently investing in such methods. 

In today’s world of skilled and persistent attackers, honeypots can be a key tool to solving a difficult problem: how to detect an advanced attacker on a busy network?

Once in a network, modern attackers hide in the noise and by mimicking normal user behaviour, stealing and abusing credentials, for example. They are increasingly hard to detect. With honeypots, organisations create something that appears to be a legitimate asset, so any attempt to access it is instantly suspicious. Rather than trying to swat the fly from afar, it gets itself trapped in the sticky honeypot.

Honeypots for research

Researchers have been making effective use of honeypots. By creating fake computers, fake services or fake people, it is possible to see what kind of malicious activity is occurring on the internet. Particularly interesting examples of honeypot research include Kippo, which pretends to be a service and lets an attacker in after a number of password attempts in order to study what attackers do once on a system. Trend Micro created a number of SCADA/ICS honeypots that appeared to be industrial networks, and found that attackers quickly compromised these services, with ominous implications for people running real internet-connected SCADA systems.
