Threat Hunting 2
reduce false positives
ClearSkies™ Active Defense

Intelligent deception and post-breach traps that generate high-confidence alerts and rich attacker telemetry, turning dwell time against the adversary. Hunt the attacker, not the alert.

AI-Driven Deception for Post-Breach Threat Detection

Post-breach detection based on deception.

ClearSkies™ Active Defense identifies lateral movement and malicious behavior after a breach has occurred, turning your internal network into an intelligent trap. Deploying AI-driven decoys and beacon traps across the IT environment, it detects intruders engaging with assets that no legitimate user has reason to touch, and gathers detailed intelligence on attacker methods, tools, and intent.

The result: lower dwell time, a more prepared SOC, and faster response, without the false-positive volume that defeats most internal threat-hunting programs. Only an attacker interacts with a decoy; the alert that fires is therefore the highest-confidence signal in your entire detection stack.

Detect threats instantly and cut dwell time
Understand what attackers want and how they operate
Respond quicker with the right insight at the right moment

Expose attackers before they cause damage

Lure, trap, delay and unmask threat actors with AI-driven deception

Deception Technology

Interactive decoys and beacon traps deployed across the IT environment, triggered only when engaged by an actual adversary. Decoys mimic real systems - operating systems, business applications, open ports, protocols - revealing attackers without exposing real assets and producing instant, high-confidence alerts.

Threat Actor Intelligence

Detailed insights into how attackers operate: their behavior, tools, techniques and intent. The intelligence helps your team understand who they are dealing with and respond with precision. Every attacker interaction becomes a forensic record.

Real-Time Alerting & Response

Immediate alerts when a trap is triggered. Automatic response actions through native integration with ClearSkies™ SIEM and SOAR - containment and playbook execution happen at the speed of the engagement.

RealTime

Incident Forensics

Trace every step an attacker takes within the deception layer. Reconstruct the attacker journey, identify tactics used (mapped to MITRE ATT&CK) and refine defensive playbooks for the next encounter.

Incident Forensics

Post-Breach Detection

Identify lateral movement and stealthy internal reconnaissance after a breach. Early visibility lets your team detect intrusions quickly, before attackers reach critical systems or cause damage.

Decrease Attacker Dwell Time

Expose intruders early in the attack lifecycle by intercepting them inside the deception layer, significantly reducing the time they remain undetected within your network.

Reduce False Positives

Because only threat actors interact with deception assets, alerts are extremely high-signal - letting your SOC focus only on what matters. No legitimate user has any reason to touch a decoy.

Scalable & Resource Friendly

Easily scale deception deployment without taxing infrastructure. Traps operate silently in the background, with no risk to system performance or data exposure.

Why Security Operations Must Fundamentally Transform

Security operations were never designed for the world we operate in today.

What began as manageable streams of security alerts have turned into overwhelming volumes of signals, increasingly automated attacks, and environments that change faster than teams can respond. Despite better…

If You Can’t See DNS Traffic, You’re Already Compromised

Once considered mere plumbing of the internet, DNS has become a favored battleground for modern cyber adversaries. This transformation is not theoretical: it is already playing out across enterprise environments where DNS traffic often remains unmonitored, misunderstood, and dangerously under…

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a proactive security approach that places decoys across your network to detect intruders and gather intelligence - without putting real assets at risk. It is also one of the few detection methods that produces almost zero false positives, because only attackers have reason to engage with a decoy.

Honeypots are passive and isolated. ClearSkies™ deception is dynamic, integrated, and tailored to your environment. Decoys look and behave exactly like real information assets - impersonating real operating systems, business applications, and open ports using the appropriate protocols. Beacon traps use fake information and “poisoned data” as bait, placed strategically amongst real information to aid in the early detection of unauthorized access.

Yes. Decoys and traps are non-intrusive, resource-light, and completely isolated from your real systems. They silently run in the background without risk to system performance or data exposure.

It identifies lateral movement and attacker intent after a breach, giving you early warning before attackers reach sensitive systems. It is purpose-built for the detection gap that EDR and perimeter tools leave open: the days or weeks an attacker already inside your network is quietly mapping it.

The opposite. Alerts are only triggered by real engagement with decoys, offering an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio.

No. It is resource-light, invisible to users and attackers, and does not affect production systems.

By observing how threat actors interact with decoys - what systems they probe, what commands they run, what tools they use - you gain valuable intelligence into their goals, methods, and skill level. This intelligence feeds your detection engineering and your playbook design for the next encounter.

ClearSkies™ immediately alerts your team and can automatically initiate response actions through native integration with SIEM and SOAR, containing threats in real time.

Yes. Forensic timelines of attacker behavior within the deception layer help you refine response procedures, improve playbooks, and proactively address security gaps before they are exploited again.
