The company’s unique traffic and security analysis engine enables it to uniquely discover all types of IoT systems in the enterprise. Leveraging the ability to create the industry’s most diverse set of deception traps, TopSpin can emulate enterprises' unique IoT systems for attackers to find, resulting in a tripped alarm and alerts.

"Being recognized with the top honor in the 2017 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards Program is especially rewarding since winners were voted on and selected by InfoSec professionals in the industry," said Yoel Knoll, TopSpin Security VP of Marketing. "Deception offers a unique solution for protecting enterprise environments and detecting attacks that most other tools simply miss. DECOYnet offers the most comprehensive deception-based security as it combines the use of decoys and traps with advanced traffic analysis and security visibility, and covers every organizational asset, including IoT devices."

DECOYnet is the industry’s only intelligent deception solution that offers a built-in traffic and security analysis engine – enabling highly accurate placement of mini-traps and decoys, an additional security layer through analysis and threat detection, and adaptive and flexible deception that evolves with changing network conditions. With DECOYnet, TopSpin continues to perfect its asset profiling capabilities, uniquely mapping the network by every asset and subnet to build a comprehensive deception layer for each individual network. By constantly breathing the network traffic, DECOYnet actively adapts to dynamic network conditions, including new assets and applications introduced, so the deception layer is always optimized.

DECOYnet interacts with other security tools to help organizations maintain their requirement to develop and maintain secure systems and applications. It alerts organizations when third-party tools and service pose risks, for example if they perform scans or exfiltrate private data to an unauthorized external location. DECOYnet also enhances threat intelligence by combining data from decoys, traps, and internal and egress traffic monitors; and correlating it into single, actionable incidents.
