Dragnet is deception technology. It is a lightweight, affordable and easy to deploy security token that lures bad actors to fake documents or files embedded into your device. Working as a door chime for your network, it alerts system administrators to when hackers infiltrate your system and where they’ve been snooping.

ProActive is proud to be offering this to not just our clients but to anyone who is wanting to take the additional steps in securing their network and their people. It doesn’t matter if you have one or a hundred and one, the more security you have the more likely you are to catch the incidents quickly, before the damage is done.

SO WHAT IS IT?

• Dragnet is deception technology that acts as an intrusion detection system meant for small and midsize businesses.
• It can detect intrusions into your network, your email, your computer, and more. It can even detect intruders in your cloud storage!
• Dragnet can significantly decrease the time to detect an intrusion, so you can respond quickly to reduce or avoid damages.
• No artificial intelligence, no machine learning, no nonsense. Just simple, reliable security alerts.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Dragnet is a new take on an old concept, honeypots. We call them security tokens.
• Security tokens can be in the form of Word documents, PDFs, emails, and more.
• Tokens, sweetened with bait, such as a Word document titled “server passwords.docx” attract hackers to fake documents.
• When a token is accessed, an alarm is set off, alerting security administrators to the presence of the bad actor.
• Admins stop hackers(link blog), fast.
