Fidelis Deception®: Turning Attackers into Targets

Fidelis Deception® technology strengthens your security posture by proactively exposing attackers before they can cause damage. By placing realistic decoys, breadcrumbs, fake accounts and data across your environment, it lures adversaries into revealing their presence and tactics early, giving your team the advantage to act quickly and confidently. It enables:

How Fidelis Deception® Outsmarts Attackers

Advanced Deception to Detect and Disrupt Threats Early

deception decoys

Expose Attackers Instantly with High-fidelity Decoys

Realistic decoys replicate critical systems, applications, and services across your environment.
They blend seamlessly into production to attract attackers searching for valuable targets.
Any interaction instantly exposes anomalous behavior with high-confidence alerts.

Deceptive Password Trap

Detect Credential Misuse and Unauthorized Data Access

Planted credentials and sensitive-looking files act as bait for attackers.
These traps are designed to detect unauthorized access and credential misuse attempts.
Any interaction reveals credential theft or data exfiltration activity immediately.

behavioral detection

Eliminate False Positives

Interactions with endpoint and network deception assets are inherently suspicious and signal attacker presence.

This approach eliminates false positives and reduces alert fatigue for security teams.

It enables faster detection and response with high-confidence, actionable insights.

deceptive credentials and data trap

Increase Attacker Risk, Cost, and Complexity

Continuously alter the attack surface to mislead and disrupt attackers.

Automatically update decoys to mirror real environments, increasing uncertainty and forcing attackers into high-risk interactions.

terrain mapping

Understand Attack Paths and Deploy Defenses

Maps relationships between users, systems, and data across your environment.

This provides visibility into attack paths and potential movement patterns.

It helps deploy deception strategically where attackers are most likely to operate.

What Sets Fidelis Deception® Apart?

Make Every Attacker Move Work Against Them

Detect Threats Across On-Prem & Cloud Environments

Deploy intelligent decoys seamlessly across on-premises and cloud environments. Designed for enterprises and government organizations, this unified approach extends visibility and enables early threat detection across hybrid environments.

Empowers organizations to stay ahead of threats by anticipating attacker intent and exposing malicious activity early. Turn the environment into an active defense layer and help security teams detect, analyze, and respond with greater speed and confidence.

Adapt deception strategies to your unique infrastructure with automated terrain mapping and intelligent decoy placement. By aligning deception with real assets and risk profiles, it ensures effective coverage and maximizes detection accuracy across evolving environments.

Deploy highly authentic decoys that mirror real OT and ICS systems, making it difficult for attackers to distinguish between real and fake assets.

Active sandbox analysis safely detonates suspicious files and payloads in an isolated environment, revealing hidden malware, zero-days, and evasive threats that bypass traditional defenses.

Detect and respond to threats significantly faster by triggering high-confidence alerts the moment attackers interact with deception assets. Reduce attacker dwell time and attack surface, enabling rapid containment and minimizing impact.

Our customers detect post-breach attacks over 9x faster.

Threat Protection Enabled by Fidelis Deception®

Credential Theft Detection

Fake credentials are planted to attract attackers attempting privilege escalation. Any interaction immediately signals credential misuse and unauthorized access attempts.

Lateral Movement Detection

Deceptive assets are placed across the network to detect unauthorized movement. When attackers attempt to pivot between systems, they are quickly identified and contained.

Active Directory Deception

Decoy Active Directory objects expose reconnaissance and credential harvesting activities. Unauthorized queries and access attempts trigger high-confidence alerts for rapid response.

Expose Attackers Before They Reach Critical Systems

Use Deception to Reveal Hidden Threat Activity

Cut costs, save time, and empower your team with tools that deliver. Stay ahead of threats with proactive hunting and response from Fidelis Deception®.

Technology Integrations That Strengthen Your Network Posture

Fidelis Deception® integrates with security platforms to share deception alerts and attacker intelligence across your security environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is deception technology in cybersecurity?

Deception technology uses decoys, traps, and credentials that appear legitimate to attackers. When adversaries interact with these deceptive assets, the deception platform generates alerts and reveals attacker behavior.

A deception security platform works by placing deceptive signals such as credentials or systems that appear real to attackers. When someone interacts with them, the deception solution alerts organizations to possible intrusions.

Cyber deception and threat deception platforms help organizations uncover attacker activity earlier by creating environments where malicious actions become easier to detect and investigate.
