Attivo Networks, announced its worldwide operations to support growing demand for deception technology in India. The expansion is fueled by enterprise, midmarket, and government agency interests in reducing dwell time, the time it takes to detect an in-network attacker and for improving incident response operations.
A global cybersecurity survey conducted by ESI Thoughtlab, the Wall St Journal’s Pro Cybersecurity, and a cross industry coalition reported that over the next two years organizations plan to increase their investment in deception technology by 684%. India could be at the forefront of this growth since deception technology has increased in popularity and demand after The Reserve Bank of India’s Cyber Security Framework was released.
“The Attivo Networks ThreatDefend portfolio is locally developed in India and perfectly aligned with the Cyber Security Framework for threat deception,” said Tushar Kothari, CEO of Attivo Networks. “Deception technology adoption is soaring globally, and we look forward to addressing market demand and successfully expanding our presence in India.”
“It is exciting to see a world-class deception provider increase their presence in the India market,” said Apurva Mody, CEO of Adweb Technologies. “Deception is seen as an important layer of defence by both regulators and enterprises, and we are looking forward to working with Attivo Networks to further develop the market.”
The ThreatDefend Deception and Response platform works by enticing in-network attackers with highly authentic looking credentials, decoys, applications, and database deceptions designed to attract adversaries into engaging. Through the deception environment’s collection of adversary intelligence, organizations will gain valuable insight into attacker intent and threat intelligence required for blocking attacks, eradicating the threat, and returning adversary mitigation. Attivo dynamic traps, bait, and lures provide threat deception for today’s evolving attack surfaces including networks, cloud, data centers, remote offices, and specialized environments such as IoT, medical IoT, ICS-SCADA, POS, infrastructure, and telecommunications.
