"Deception Technologies Have a Maturity Problem"

Deception technologies can provide a more effective method for detecting network attackers, but it is unclear how well security leaders understand their maturity and capabilities. Debi Ashenden, a cybersecurity professor at Adelaide University, described deception technologies as relatively immature during a panel discussion at Infosecurity Europe. She noted that deception evolved from the concept of honeypots, and while organizations may be on the verge of seeing deception technologies mature, the technology still needs strong use cases and reference customers willing to discuss their experience with deception. Gonzalo Cuatrecasas, CISO of Nordic industrial manufacturer Axel Johnson International, stated that when technology is adopted, it must be mature enough to perform the task for which it was designed. Otherwise, it becomes half-baked technology that gets caught in the middle. This article continues to discuss the relative immaturity of deception technologies.
