DEPLOYING HONEYPOTS FOR PROACTIVE THREAT MONITORING SOC'S

In an era of escalating cyber threats, the need for robust defenses against malicious activities is paramount. Inthis project, we propose a novel approach to leverage honeypots in conju nction with Canary Tokens toaccurately pinpoint the geographical locations of attackers. By strategically deploying these decoy resourcesacross diverse network environments, we capture valuable data on unauthorized access attempts and maliciousbehavior. Through the analysis of Canary Tokens, which act as unique identifiers triggered upon interaction,we can trace the origin of these attacks to specific IP addresses. Utilizing this information, security professionalsgain insights into the geographical distribution of attackers, aiding in threat intelligence, incident response, andthe implementation of targeted security measures. This integration of project honeypots and Canary Tokensenhances network defense strategies, providing organizations with a proactive stanceagainst cyber threats.
