TrapX has created a new generation of deception technology that provides real-time breach detection and prevention. The solution deceives would-be attackers with turn-key decoys (traps) that "imitate" a company's true assets. Hundreds or thousands of traps can be deployed with little effort, creating a virtual mine field for cyberattacks, immediately alerting companies to any malicious activity with actionable intelligence.
