Honeypot

Honeypot is a type of cybersecurity tool or decoy system used to attract and trick attackers. It imitates a weak or alluring target, such as a server, network, or application, to entice attackers into interacting with it. Security teams may assess and comprehend potential threats thanks to honeypots, which collect information on the attacker’s tactics, strategies, and goals. Honeypots defend critical infrastructure by diverting attackers’ focus from genuine systems and offering insightful data to enhance security defenses and incident response capabilities.
