Using Cyber Decoys to Strengthen Detection and Response
CISA released guidance on cyber decoys—tripwires, breadcrumbs, honeytokens—to help defenders detect adversaries using valid credentials and living-off-the-land techniques.
CISA published guidance to help defensive teams of varying maturity plan and implement cyber decoys—assets that mimic legitimate systems, accounts, or data, such as tripwires, breadcrumbs, and honeytokens—to detect adversaries using legitimate credentials and living-off-the-land techniques. The guidance frames decoys as complementing Zero Trust by producing high-fidelity alerts, reducing alert fatigue, and exposing post-compromise activity like discovery, lateral movement, and data access. It maps decoy operations to the MITRE Engage and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks with low-complexity implementation steps.
