CISA has released guidance urging critical infrastructure organisations to deploy decoys such as fake files and credentials within their internal networks to detect attackers who bypass perimeter defences. The guidance focuses on using honeytokens to reduce noise and improve detection times, supporting Zero Trust frameworks without mandatory requirements.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

CISA has opened a new defensive front within internal networks by encouraging decoy deployment. If you supply detection tools or consulting to critical infrastructure, this creates a timely opening to integrate or tailor your offerings.
