How Cybersecurity Teams Are Using Deception Technology

Most cybersecurity spending goes toward keeping attackers out — but what if you invited them in and watched what they did? This episode explores deception technology, a strategy where security teams plant fake credentials, decoy servers, and honeytokens to catch intruders already inside the network. Lucas walks through a real 2025 deployment at a Fortune 500 retailer that detected a ransomware crew within 17 minutes using breadcrumbs planted months earlier. Luna pushes back on the cost and complexity, and they dig into the numbers: companies using layered deception see median dwell time drop from 212 days to under 48 hours. They also discuss the rise of commercial deception platforms from companies like Illusive Networks and Attivo Networks, and why the approach works especially well against human-operated ransomware.
