There is growing interest in deception as a methodology and as an integral part of cybersecurity architecture, as organizations seek more effective approaches for detecting and responding to threats in real time. Distributed Deception Platforms have made this approach practical and affordable for the first time, but choosing the right solution can be challenging.

Industry 4.0 promises a hyper-connected manufacturing environment where cyber-physical systems, IoT devices, and cloud computing combine to enable self-optimizing and self-adapting “smart factories” that can run production processes autonomously.

Organizations or institutions that are essential for the public are called Critical Infrastructure (KRITIS = “Kritische Infrastrukturen”). As such, they are subject to comprehensive and strict legal regimes consisting of laws and regulations. Their failure or significant impairments result in sustained supply shortages, significant disruptions to public safety or other drastic consequences. Their protection and the safeguarding of the public require appropriate concepts, processes and technologies.

As businesses embrace the Digital Transformation and become increasingly cloud-native, mobile and interconnected, the corporate network perimeter is gradually disappearing, exposing users to malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats.

There is a need for the next-generation enterprise security solutions delivered from the cloud.

Today, the question is not if your organization will suffer a cyber incident but when - and this makes it essential to have a plan.
