Abstract

With modern systems relying upon cloud infrastructure to support enterprise networks it essential to protect these systems from attacks. As cyber threats increase in complexity it is necessary to develop methods to detect how a malicious threat actor will breach a network. Through building a better understanding of the threats we can make efforts to harden and protect the network. A honeypot is used to achieve this goal. A honeypot is a rogue endpoint on a network. It is an endpoint that is intentionally left vulnerable. By allowing this rogue system to be breached we can monitor and see the methods a malicious actor might employ. We can also see how a malicious actor will behave once they gain access to a vulnerable endpoint.
