Exam CAS-004 topic 1 question 385 discussion

B: Deception Software such as honeypot and honeynet which is capable of providing the following • Capable of early detection of advanced persistent threats. • Must be transparent to users and cause no performance degradation. • Allow integration with production and development networks seamlessly. • Enable the security team to hunt and investigate live exploitation techniques

Early Detection of APTs: Deception technologies create fake assets and environments that lure attackers, allowing for early detection when these deceptive elements are accessed. Transparency to Users and No Performance Degradation: Deception technologies operate in the background, without impacting the performance of actual user-facing systems. Seamless Integration: They can be integrated into existing networks, both production and development, without significant changes or disruptions. Hunting and Investigation: Deception software allows security teams to monitor, analyze, and respond to attacks in real-time, providing detailed insights into exploitation techniques used by attacker

The best answer is B. Deception software. Deception software can detect advanced persistent threats (APTs) early by creating decoys and traps that lure attackers into revealing their presence. It operates transparently to users and does not degrade performance. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with production and development networks and enables the security team to hunt and investigate live exploitation techniques by analyzing the behavior of attackers who interact with the decoys.
