Unlimited. He tells us

cybersecurity arsenal.

eception is usually frowned on by
most societies and can carry negative
connotations. But can deception ever
be a positive? Cybersecurity company Attivo
Networks believes that it can be.
Anton Jacobsz, Managing Director at
Networks Unlimited, an African value-

more and more that a new approach is
needed in today’s cybersecurity defence
strategies. During the past few years, the
pace and intensity of malware, ransomware
and phishing attacks from those looking

Networks, offers another, completely

‘deception technology’. It’s an excellent and
complementary addition to any company’s
layers of cyber protection strategies.”
Advanced deception technology platforms
offer the capability to exercise deception-
based detection throughout every layer
of the network stack, enabling efficient
exposure for every threat vector. Using
high-interaction decoys and lures, deception
solutions effectively deceive attackers into
