ThreatWise

Cyber deception inside the data platform: decoy sensors indistinguishable from real systems that unmask the attacker on the move — before they touch the data.

01 · What it is

ThreatWise, made clear.

Attackers spend weeks moving laterally before striking — and no alert fires, because they use valid credentials. ThreatWise flips the game: it seeds the environment with decoy sensors (fake but indistinguishable servers, shares, services) that no legitimate user has any reason to touch. Whoever touches them is, by definition, a threat: the alert is certain, early, and arrives while the data is still intact.

Credible decoys

Names, services and responses consistent with your environment: the attacker can't tell.

Data-path coverage

Decoys guard exactly what attacks seek: storage, backups, DBs.

Actionable alert

Who, from where, towards what: the SOC receives context, not noise.

Complement to backup

The platform protecting the data now also sees who is hunting it: loop closed.

03 · In depth

Deception: why it works where signatures fail

Lateral movement with valid credentials is invisible to signatures and distracted EDRs; deception doesn't look for patterns: it creates high-attraction fake targets (a “Backup2024” share, an “SQL-PROD-02” server) that no legitimate process queries; every interaction — scan, login, mount — is malicious by construction; sensors are lightweight agentless emulations, deployed in minutes; alerts reach the SIEM with full context and our NOC: the attacker's dwell time collapses.

  • Agentless sensors — lightweight emulations: deployed by the dozen
  • High attraction — names and services the attacker MUST touch
  • Deterministic alerts — interaction = threat: the SOC discards nothing
  • Rich context — source, credentials used, sequence: IR starts ahead
  • SIEM integration — Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar: where your SOC works
  • Inside the platform — deception and data protection in the same console
