Traditional security tools miss east-west traffic. Tripwires placed at strategic choke points catch lateral movement with zero noise — because legitimate users never touch them.

Attack path mapped: 3 hops in 5 minutes
Perimeter security watches north-south traffic. EDR generates mountains of noise. Attackers blend with legitimate traffic patterns. Tripwires solve this fundamentally differently.
Firewalls watch traffic entering and leaving your network, but once an attacker is inside, east-west traffic flows unchecked.
Endpoint detection generates thousands of alerts daily. Security teams can't investigate them all, and attackers slip through the noise.
Tripwires are never touched by legitimate users. Any interaction is a confirmed threat — no tuning, no thresholds, no false positives.
Position tripwires where attackers move. Every choke point becomes a detection opportunity.
Place honeypots between VLANs and subnets. Catch attackers moving between network zones.
Plant decoy documents on shared drives. Detect file enumeration and data exfiltration attempts.
Seed fake API keys in config files and vaults. Catch credential harvesting immediately.
Deploy honeypot databases alongside production. Any connection attempt is a confirmed threat.
Different tripwire types work together to create overlapping detection layers. No matter how an attacker moves, they'll hit a tripwire.
Catch network scanning and service enumeration. When an attacker probes ports, you know immediately.
Catch file access and data exfiltration. Decoy documents alert when opened or downloaded.
Catch key theft and credential harvesting. Fake API keys and passwords alert when used anywhere.
All alerts feed into a single timeline, mapping the complete attack path from initial access to lateral movement.
Watch an attack unfold in real time. Every hop triggers an alert, building a complete picture.
