What the company sells
Thinkst sells breach-detection decoy products, led by Thinkst Canary, a device that can be deployed across a network to alert defenders when an attacker interacts with it. The company also offers Canarytokens, free trackable tokens that signal when attackers trigger them, and OpenCanary, an open-source daemon that mimics services to catch intruders. Thinkst additionally publishes ThinkstScapes, a research digest covering security events and findings for its audience.[1]
