👉 Trap engineering is a sophisticated method used in the field of cybersecurity, particularly in network defense and intrusion detection systems. It involves designing and deploying artificial traps or decoy systems that mimic real targets to lure potential attackers away from actual critical assets. These traps are strategically placed within a network to appear vulnerable and entice attackers to interact with them, thereby revealing their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). By analyzing the attacker's behavior in these traps, security teams can gain valuable insights into the threat landscape, improve defensive strategies, and enhance incident response capabilities. This proactive approach not only helps in identifying and mitigating current threats but also aids in predicting and preparing for future attacks.
