Bakotech International Group, headquartered in Kiev, has become a distributor of deception solutions of Attivo Networks in Turkmenistan, as well as in other countries of Central Asia, Europe and the CIS.
Attivo Networks is a developer of deception technologies for specialized environments such as Industrial Control System (ICS) SCADA, Internet of Things (IoT), and Point of Sale (POS) critical infrastructure.
Attivo Networks, headquartered in Fremont, USA, provides clients across the globe with a comprehensive deception platform that detects real-time intrusions within the IT network and provides the necessary visibility and alerts to identify, isolate, and protect against sophisticated cyberattacks.
The vendor’s decoys are realistic-looking cyber attack lures that can be deployed to exit points, networks, programs, cloud environments, and even documents. These decoys can imitate real assets and be configured with virtualization technology. False data on exit points is used to lure attackers to decoys: fake accounts, network connections, browser history, registry entries, files, etc.
The purpose of using such technology is to improve the ability of IT security professionals to detect and respond to cyber attacks that are already in their network, as well as to reduce the time spent by attackers in compromised networks. Attivo’s analysis and reporting tools allow to counter attackers, and this information can be shared with other security tools.
“Deception technologies have been rapidly gaining ground in the last few years, especially among IT security professionals who are tired of tools that generate more false positives than real information about hacking. Given the growing number of multi-stage attacks in which cybercriminals move across the network in search of access to critical information, Attivo solutions will be appreciated by both our partners and their customers. The vendor’s products are perfect for detecting hackers at the very beginning of the threat life cycle,” says Miroslav Bondar, Director of the Bakotek Department.
“Attivo Networks offers the market solutions with a completely new security paradigm that expands and complements the existing is infrastructure. That is why innovative products of the vendor are included in the portfolio of bakotek and will enable organizations to use all possible tools and strategies in the fight against cybercriminals,” said CEO of Bakotech Evgeny Badakh.
