About CounterCraft
CounterCraft sells AI-powered deception technology that detects real attackers early by observing how they behave inside controlled environments. CounterCraft generates threat intelligence by combining AI-powered deception technology with preemptive threat detection. CounterCraft states that AI agents are now attacking organizations 24 hours a day, probing every surface and adapting to what they find. CounterCraft deploys AI agents of its own that build deception environments mirroring the real architecture of a customer and engage adversaries in real time. CounterCraft states that its AI agents extract intelligence while keeping every real asset untouched.[2]
The Deception Expert designs and deploys deception environments tailored to the real architecture of a customer. The Deception Expert creates realistic digital assets and host profiles to lure adversaries. An attacker meets a realistic decoy built by the Deception Expert from the actual architecture of the customer. CounterCraft builds a digital twin tailored to the environment of the customer, deployed automatically by AI. The deception environment of CounterCraft updates automatically.[2]
The Engager feeds false information to attackers in real time while gathering intelligence. The Engager interacts with attackers in real time to maximize attacker dwell time. The Threat Hunter Expert captures every move and TTP of an attacker and delivers it to the team of the customer as intelligence. The Threat Hunter Expert triages attacker activity automatically, identifies TTPs and produces incident reports for analysts.[2]
CounterCraft operates entirely outside the live environment of a customer and is agentless. No production systems are touched at any point in the CounterCraft deception process. CounterCraft deception lures both AI agents and human attackers away from critical assets. CounterCraft deploys deception technology directly at the network perimeter, placing realistic decoys alongside real edge devices.[2][3]
CounterCraft technology detects adversaries attempting to move laterally within a network. CounterCraft technology assesses and measures external risk exposure, identifying vulnerabilities, threats and potential risks. CounterCraft uses automated threat intelligence and deception technology to address the scarcity of skilled cybersecurity professionals. CounterCraft says threat intelligence powered by deception techniques lets organizations create deception environments that contain adversaries and collect threat intel to protect the network. CounterCraft says operational technology, SCADA, critical infrastructure and industrial control systems networks are difficult to defend.[2][4][5]
CounterCraft says its cyber-deception platform addresses challenges in retail, including data exfiltration, insider threat, e-commerce, supply chain threats and PoS security. CounterCraft states that retail organizations need to secure their points of sale, supply chains and customer data. CounterCraft states that the healthcare industry needs to protect patient records from ransomware and data breaches while meeting regulatory standards and clearing safety audits. The cyber-deception platform of CounterCraft can detect threat actors targeting organizations before they get into the network. CounterCraft states that financial services need to protect payment systems like SWIFT, understand the intentions of a phishing attack and learn from adversaries to help prevent fraud and ransomware activity.[2][6][7][8]
CounterCraft states that the oil and gas sector needs to protect its operational technology and its custom, difficult-to-integrate systems. Oil and gas enterprises have custom systems that are difficult to defend, according to CounterCraft. CounterCraft states that its platform is used by NATO, the US DoD, and other governments and militaries worldwide. CounterCraft addresses challenges across sectors, from military to state departments, including data exfiltration, insider threat, operational confidentiality and gaining intel. A bank used CounterCraft to detect red teams and unauthorized users on five different attempts to access the SWIFT portal, stopping them from reaching the production environment. CounterCraft works with global businesses.[2][4][9][10][11]
