About CyberTrap

CyberTrap sells an AI-driven proactive cyber defense solution that transforms infrastructure into an intelligent defense mesh. CyberTrap's platform maps digital assets, traps adversaries in deception environments, and connects with a broader security ecosystem, structured across three layers: Discovery, Engagement, and Integration.[1][4]

CyberTrap states that traditional tools cannot keep up when AI-driven attacks are evolving too fast. CyberTrap deploys lures, decoys, and synthetic data to mislead attackers and study their tactics (TTPs) before they reach customer systems. CyberTrap says its solution diverts intruders away from real assets and locks attackers in a decoy environment. CyberTrap aims to gather threat intelligence on attacker Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures.[5]

The Discovery layer includes CyberTrap Explorer and ThreatIQ, combining passive scanning and behavioral monitoring with AI-driven insights. Network Scanner, Cloud Scanner, Log Scanner, and the AI Anomaly Detector build a live map of the environment and detect hidden threats. Explorer fingerprints every asset, user, and interaction across on-premises and cloud environments, using Network, Cloud, and Log scanners. Adversary Skill Assessment, CVE Analysis, and Darkweb Intelligence prioritize risks based on attacker behavior, system exposures, and underground chatter. CyberTrap Explorer and ThreatIQ map the environment and find threats with AI-driven scanning and monitoring.[1][3][4][6]

The Engagement layer starts with targeted artifacts that lure attackers toward an isolated deception zone. Artifact Manager places digital lures in SaaS, DevOps, and endpoints for silent early alerts. Once engaged, intruders are directed into a digital twin environment. Deceptor orchestrates dynamic decoy swarms that mirror infrastructure elements and respond to attacker actions. CT Deceptor deploys adaptive AI digital twins that mimic critical systems.[1][4][6]

CyberTrap shares telemetry, alerts, and contextual behavior insights directly with the SOC stack through built-in connectors for SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence platforms. CyberTrap offers open APIs and native integration with tools such as Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, CrowdStrike, and QRadar, supporting automated playbooks, incident enrichment, and structured audit trails. CyberTrap technology integrates into the security stack through plug-and-play connectors, for example Splunk and Sentinel. Enriched data from decoy interactions and adversary profiling can trigger automated playbooks in a SOAR.[1][3][4][5][6]

CyberTrap logs every malicious action and provides compliance-ready evidence. Audit-ready evidence is generated automatically for ISO 27001, NIS 2, DORA, and GDPR.[3][5]

CyberTrap is built on a legacy of deception technology, continuously refined since 2015. CyberTrap describes honeytokens as using digital entities, fake email addresses, fake executable files, and fake database data.[1][3]
