SecurityHive’s Approach to Smarter Deception
Many organizations struggle with false alerts and the operational overhead they create. The solution is not just more alerts—it’s smarter deception. SecurityHive’s honeypots are designed to be low-maintenance, EU-hosted, and highly adaptive, giving you meaningful intelligence without drowning your SOC in noise. Deploying takes minutes, upkeep is automated, and compliance with GDPR and NIS2 is built in.
The Honeypot Problem: Too Many Alerts, Not Enough Insight
Traditional honeypots often produce alerts whenever any interaction occurs. The issue? Many of these alerts stem from automated scans, background internet noise, or non-critical events.
The result:
- Alert fatigue in your SOC
- Wasted analyst hours chasing non-issues
- Difficulty prioritizing real threats
In cybersecurity, signal-to-noise ratio matters. False or low-value alerts can erode trust in the system and lead to dangerous complacency.
What Makes a Honeypot Truly Low-Maintenance
A honeypot should provide value out of the box without becoming another workload for your team. Here are the key characteristics of a low-maintenance honeypot:
- Fast Deployment – Stand up decoys in minutes, not days.
- Automated Updates – Regularly refresh services, banners, and decoys to avoid detection.
- Adaptive Deception – Use AI-driven responses to stay realistic.
- Noise Reduction – Filter routine internet noise and highlight real attacker behavior.
- SOC Integration – Feed meaningful alerts directly into your SIEM/SOAR workflows.
- EU Compliance – Keep logs and telemetry within EU borders to meet GDPR and NIS2 obligations.
Outsmarting Canary’s False Alerts
While Canary tokens and appliances are effective, many users report a high volume of alerts with limited context. This creates more work, not less.
SecurityHive addresses this problem by:
- Contextualized alerts – Instead of just saying “honeypot touched,” we provide details about what the attacker did (commands, payloads, TTPs).
- Rich telemetry – Delivering the “why” and “how,” not just the “what.”
- Adaptive deception – Making honeypots harder to detect, so attackers stay engaged longer and reveal more about their tactics.
The result: fewer false positives, more actionable intelligence, and a leaner SOC workflow.
