The Concept of Canary Honeypots

Canary honeypots are designed to detect intruders within a network by presenting a decoy that attackers may engage with. The fundamental principle behind Thinkst Canary is to simplify the deployment of honeypots, allowing organizations to utilize them effectively without significant risk exposure. Users can install a canary within two minutes, making it accessible and functional on their networks. This quick deployment allows attackers to interact with the honeypots without realizing they have triggered an alert, thus providing administrators with valuable insights into unauthorized activity over an extended period.
