illusive networks’ premise is that “you cannot keep applying
the same approach hoping for a different result”.
It tackles cyber security from a different angle - the
perspective of the attackers. Focusing on the actors of
the attack, rather than just their instruments, it exploits
their vulnerabilities, changing the asymmetry of cyber
warfare.
illusive networks pioneered a new type of defensedeception
based cybersecurity. Its patent pending
Deceptions Everywhere ® technology is a deception
management system (DMS) that neutralizes targeted
attacks and Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). It distributes,
monitors and continuously manages deceptions by
weaving a deceptive layer over the entire network. This
means that every endpoint, server and network component
is coated with deceptions. The moment an attacker
penetrates the network, they are in an ‘illusive’ world
where all the data is unreliable.
Alternative ‘Solutions’
Before Deceptions Everywhere, enterprises were
relying on honeypot vendors. Honeypots have a low
detection rate, high level of false positives, are easily
traceable, hard to deploy and complicated to maintain.
They look for malware, but build passive honeypots that
the attackers may or may not stumble upon.
Illusive’s deceptions change dynamically over time
and best fit the environment. Highly dynamic, scalable
and effective, illusive differs from its competitors:
• identifies and visualizes attack risks before the
attack takes place
• visualizes where deceptions are deployed across
the network
• visualizes incident alert location on a map which
draws an entire attack campaign,
• DMS is self contained and does not rely on any
external tools
Deceptions Everywhere technolog y includes:
Attacker View - IT security professionals view their
network from an attacker’s perspective, visualizing
attack paths. Unlike mapping software, it shows attack
vectors found on each machine, and how attackers can
navigate the network to reach critical assets, allowing
security strategies to be adapted to mitigate against attacks.
Advanced Ransomware Guard - Automatically blocks
the ransomware operation at the source hosts, alerts the
defenders and also diverts it to encrypt phony or false
targets. Once ransomware attempts to access a network
or move laterally towards strategic assets, it immediately
detects the specific action, neutralizing the attack immediately
and automatically.
Wire Transfer Guard - The first cyber-deceptiondedicated
solution built to protect financial networks.
It effectively detects, reports on and mitigates targeted
attacks that pose high risk of financial and strategic damage
to financial institutions globally.
Additional benefits:
No more ‘false positive’ alerts - attackers act on false
information, are instantly detected.
Real-time forensics - Actionable breach report provides
real-time forensic information needed to contain
an attack “in its tracks”.
Low total cost of ownership - Users are not aware of
deceptions that are deployed and managed in an agentless,
low-fingerprint manner.
Conclusion
Deceptions Everywhere has detected many advanced
attackers as they tried to move laterally during an APT or

illusive networks recently released the first cyber deception
technology to protect wire transfer networks in financial
institutions. Wire Transfer Guard detects, reports and mitigates
targeted attacks that pose high risk of financial and strategic
damage to financial institutions worldwide.

Ransomware attack, thereby saving the customers
great losses. The attacker view also showed all the possible
attack vectors - including numerous attack paths
that were hidden to the client - allowing customers to
mitigate immediate risks, demonstrating real return on
investment.
