AI-Based i-Mirage Proactive Defense System

This cutting-edge solution is meticulously designed to safeguard your IT/OT networks using advanced artificial intelligence and Deception Technology. The i-Mirage system leverages sophisticated AI algorithms and high-fidelity deception techniques to deploy intelligent honeypots and realistic decoys throughout your network. These decoys are engineered to mimic critical infrastructure components, effectively luring and engaging attackers. By analyzing their behavior in these controlled environments, the system gathers invaluable insights into their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). This proactive approach not only identifies threats early but also helps in understanding and anticipating future attack patterns. One of the standout features of the i-Mirage system is its autonomous AI engine. This engine continuously learns from ongoing threats and dynamically adapts the deployment of honeypots and decoys to counter new and evolving cyber threats. This ensures that your network defenses are always up-to-date, providing a robust and resilient security posture.See more...

Dynamic and Machine Learning-Based Honeypots

Designed to revolutionize the way organizations protect their IT/OT networks, this advanced system leverages the power of machine learning to create a highly adaptive and intelligent defense mechanism. Our honeypots are not static. They dynamically adapt to the evolving threat landscape, deploying intelligent decoys that mimic critical infrastructure components in real-time. These decoys lure attackers into controlled environments where their activities are monitored and analyzed. By understanding their behavior, we gather crucial insights into their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). At the heart of our system is a robust machine learning engine. This engine continuously learns from detected threats, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of the honeypots. It automatically adjusts decoy deployments based on real-time threat intelligence, ensuring that your defenses are always one step ahead of cybercriminals. The system automatically adjusts and optimizes honeypot configurations based on ongoing threat analysis, provides continuous surveillance and immediate alerts of suspicious activities, gathers and analyzes data on attacker behaviors to improve overall security posture, See more...
