Deception as a Service

ACSG Deception-as-a-Service (DaaS) provides advanced threat detection by deploying decoys, traps, and lures across your network to mislead attackers and expose their presence before any real damage is done. Delivered as a fully managed service, this solution continuously monitors for unauthorized activity and triggers high-fidelity alerts or response actions when deceptive assets are engaged—providing early warning, attack intelligence, and reduced risk exposure. DaaS can be rapidly deployed to protect endpoints, servers, industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA environments.

Key Features

  • Decoy Deployment: Fake assets (servers, endpoints, credentials, etc.) are placed across the environment to detect lateral movement and reconnaissance.

  • Credential & File Lures: Bait files and credentials are placed on legitimate systems to attract malicious actors.

  • Cloud & On-Prem Support: Deception layers can be deployed in both cloud-native and traditional IT environments.

  • Zero Trust Integration: Complements Zero Trust architectures by detecting abnormal behavior beyond perimeter defenses.

  • Real-Time Alerting: High-fidelity alerts are triggered only on real engagement with decoys—minimizing false positives.

  • Security Fabric Integration: FortiDeceptor integrates fully with the Fortinet Security Fabric allowing rapid response actions to isolate an attacker.

  • Threat Intelligence Collection: Captures TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures) used by attackers to support faster incident response and threat hunting automatically mapping to the Mitre ATT&CK framework.

  • Low-Impact Deployment: Non-intrusive, agentless options available that minimize operational overhead.

  • 24/7 Monitoring & Management: Delivered and maintained by cybersecurity experts to ensure optimal coverage and tuning.

Key Benefits

  • Early Threat Detection: Identify attackers before they reach critical assets or exfiltrate data.

  • Reduced Dwell Time: Accelerate detection and response with immediate alerts when deceptive assets are touched.

  • Operational Efficiency: Reduce alert fatigue and analyst workload with low-noise, high-confidence alerts.

  • No Infrastructure Disruption: Seamlessly integrates with existing IT and security stacks without major changes.

  • Proactive Defense: Turn your environment into a hostile zone for attackers, discouraging persistent threat actors.

  • Improved Incident Response: Gain insights into attacker behavior and use captured indicators for faster remediation and forensic analysis.
