Turn suspicious infrastructure reconnaissance into clear security signals.

Deploy 23 lab-qualified, product-specific decoys across virtualization, backup, identity, and hardware controllers on a single Linux host. Any unexpected connection becomes a high-fidelity event for immediate SOC investigation.

Detection before damage takes place

Lateral discovery routinely probes management ports and storage endpoints. DecoyStack gives defenders early, high-confidence notification by placing high-value decoys in the attacker path.

Surface unauthorized probing

Legitimate administrative workflows have no business connecting to unmapped decoys. Every touch is an explicit anomaly worth investigating.

Protect critical surfaces

Simulate virtualization management nodes, backup targets, and hardware BMCs that adversaries search for during ransomware staging.

Preserve existing pipelines

Export structured events with rich source context directly into Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel, or QRadar through native JSONL, Syslog, or CEF.

High-context signal against telemetry fatigue

Network sensors produce millions of flow records. DecoyStack anchors incident response with an indisputable starting point.

DecoyStack Signal vs Traditional Noise Architecture

Traditional Sensor Telemetry

Massive log volume requiring extensive correlation queries.

  • • Port scan noise blended with routine internal administrative tasks
  • • Ambiguous intention requiring multi-hop forensic correlation
  • • High alert fatigue leading to delayed containment windows

DecoyStack High-Fidelity Signal

Clear Context

Instant clarity with zero legitimate operational traffic.

  • ✓ Decoy touched: Immediate trigger without waiting for baseline drift
  • ✓ Full protocol attribution: Identity, requested URI, and TLS fingerprints
  • ✓ SIEM-ready: Direct export into SOC workflows without custom rule tuning

Decoys for high-value targets

Deploy 23 lab-qualified decoy profiles matching the enterprise technologies attackers seek during post-exploitation.

Deploy in minutes without virtual machine overhead

Run multiple synthetic identities on a single Linux host without creating and managing dozens of distinct operating systems.

DecoyStack 3-Step Deployment Workflow Architecture
01

Select profiles

Choose from 23 implemented profiles matching the specific assets and versions running in your production environment.

02

Deploy appliance

Launch isolated decoy identities on a standard Linux host, each assigned its own dedicated IP address, synthetic MAC, and firewall rules.

03

Forward to SIEM

Stream structured alerts in JSONL, Syslog RFC 5424, or CEF directly into your existing detection and response infrastructure.

Containment engineered at the kernel level

Decoys intentionally attract malicious attention. DecoyStack isolates each identity to guarantee that probing activity never pivots into the production network.

Default-deny egress

Outbound packets are dropped at the kernel firewall boundary, ensuring the decoy cannot be repurposed as a staging pivot.

Explicit IP binding

Listeners bind exclusively to designated synthetic IP addresses. No wildcard listeners (0.0.0.0) are ever opened on host interfaces.

Unprivileged execution

Each profile daemon runs with unprivileged user accounts within segregated network namespaces, preserving multi-tenant host safety.

Design Partner Program

Collaborate on early enterprise evaluation

We are working with SOC teams, security architects, MSSPs, and infrastructure engineers to validate decoy placement, detection topologies, and SIEM integrations.

  • • Test decoy effectiveness against your adversary emulation scenarios
  • • Verify telemetry streaming against your existing ingestion pipeline
  • • Evaluate controlled pilot access as release packaging progresses

Technical Preview Notice: Discussions focus on architecture and early validation. No commercial purchase commitment is required.
