Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Cyber deception is a strategic defense approach designed to mislead, confuse, and trap cyber attackers by creating enticing decoys and false information within a network. As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, learning about cyber deception is crucial for organizations and security professionals to proactively detect intrusions, slow down attackers, and protect critical assets. Mastering this discipline not only strengthens a defensive posture but also shifts the advantage from the attacker back to the defender.

This course begins with an introduction to cyber deception, guiding you through lab environment setup on both Windows and Linux systems. It explores the core concepts of deception, understanding attackers' mindsets, and recognizing common attack vectors. You will delve into the history of deception as a weapon, how individuals and organizations can fall victim, and the risks of spoofing. The course continues with a detailed examination of intrusion detection strategies, methods to lure attackers into revealing themselves, and data collection techniques. A comprehensive module on honeypots covers their architecture, deployment, and potential detection risks. Additionally, the course discusses generating alerts through honey tokens and other methods, using tools to keep attackers occupied, and concludes with key takeaways and further resources.

By the end, you will understand how to set traps, detect intrusions early, and use cyber deception to turn the tables on attackers effectively.
