SYNOPSIS
Join us for an exclusive Proofpoint-sponsored event, held in partnership with ISC2 Singapore Chapter, as we re-examine traditional threat detection methods and discuss why honeypots are no longer effective in today’s advanced threat landscape.
Once a cornerstone of cybersecurity, honeypots are now easily identified and bypassed by skilled threat actors and APTs using fingerprinting techniques, behavioural analysis, and open-source scanning tools. So—what comes next?
In this session, we’ll explore the shift towards agentless deception:
- Deceptive credentials and assets embedded directly into live environments
- Seamless integration with realistic user behaviour to avoid detection
- Targeted traps designed to detect and divert high-value adversaries
This is more than a technology shift—it’s a strategic evolution in proactive defence.
Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how modern deception can help you stay ahead of evolving threats.
