How Deception Helps Level the Cybersecurity Playing Field

When comparing the goals and capabilities of attackers and defenders, it is a sobering reality that defenders need to be successful 100% of the time, whereas attackers only need to be successful once. The current playing field is dramatically imbalanced in favor of attackers. With technology developments transitioning to business realities - including BYOD, virtualization, insider threats, cloud computing, IoT, and dependency on third party partners - the attack surfaces available to cyber criminals have been vastly expanded. At the same time, defenders have been challenged to try and adapt legacy security tools and approaches to protect these ever more complex and loosely defined infrastructures.
