Deception technology shouldn't cost more than the assets it protects. See how Tripwires delivers enterprise-grade detection at a fraction of the price.
"If you're a cloud-native startup or mid-market team, you don't need a $50k platform to deploy decoys. Tripwires gives you broad, protocol-level deception at a fraction of the cost."
"Thinkst Canary is excellent — but it's designed for a world of physical offices and on-prem data centres. If your infrastructure is cloud-first or hybrid, you need virtual sensors that can scale from 10 to 500+ without a hardware refresh."
"Per-sensor pricing punishes scale. Tripwires uses a flat-tier model: deploy 10 or 500 honeypots for the same price. No billing surprises."
