Why Security Teams Are Using Cyber Deception Traps

Episode 36 dives into how cybersecurity teams deploy honeypots and deception grids to catch attackers early. Lucas explains how one mid-size healthcare company used a fake database filled with decoy patient records to detect a ransomware group before they encrypted real systems. Luna questions whether deception tools are legal in regulated industries, and the hosts discuss the rise of active defense strategies. They also explore a 2025 case where a European bank caught state-backed hackers using a decoy server. The episode covers practical deployment tips, the difference between low-interaction and high-interaction traps, and why CISOs are adding deception to their stack alongside EDR and SIEM.
