The ingenious HoneyPoint Security Server, provides “fake” services on systems. These services then lie in wait for attackers and malware to probe them. When someone, or something, does interact with the service, all transactions are recorded, including their source IP address and timeline. Users are then alerted to the activity and can take defensive actions as needed. Brent Huston, MicroSolved’s CEO and Security Visionary, says, “The beauty of HPSS is there is no need to deploy new systems.”

An organization can use existing devices to detect threats. It also emulates thousands of services and applications including HTTP/Web Servers, SMTP/Mail Servers, Telnet, FTP, SQL, POP3/IMAP, NetBIOS/CIFS/Windows File Sharing. HoneyPoint Security Server places the software in the hands of both end users and IT personnel. The strategy is simple, yet powerfully effective. Once HPSS is deployed, any activity to it is, by default, suspicious, and at worse, malicious.

HoneyPoint is available for $100/wk.
