Threat Detection & Response
Turn attacker tactics into early warning
Attackers don’t always trigger alerts unless you leave something behind that will. NodeZero Tripwires™ convert real pentest findings into targeted deception — deploying lures where intrusions are most likely. When touched, they deliver high-fidelity alerts with full context, turning offense into defensive detection.
From pentest insight to real-time defense
Tripwires are strategically planted during NodeZero operations — fake credentials, secrets, and sensitive-looking documents placed on known at-risk systems. These aren’t generic honey tokens. They’re attacker-aware decoys tailored to each environment. When triggered, they reveal live exploitation attempts and give defenders an immediate window into the adversary’s behavior.
How Tripwires strengthen your detection posture
Deployed automatically where attackers land
NodeZero drops deception artifacts on hosts it successfully exploited — precisely where attackers are likely to look next.
Trigger on real attacker behavior
From credential reuse to token theft, Tripwires respond only to adversary activity — not noise or sandbox scans.
Bring full context with every alert
Each alert shows where the Tripwire was placed, which test led to it, what weakness it defended, and how the attacker got there.
Support flexible threat hunting
Teams can create custom Tripwires — tailored to executives, critical systems, or sensitive data stores — and deploy them on demand.
Feed directly into your SOC
Tripwires integrate into detection tools and alerting systems, helping teams respond quickly and with confidence.
Why this changes the game
Catch intrusions earlier in the attack
Tripwires fire when attackers move — not after data loss or ransomware.
Cover your exposure while fixes are in flight
Deception gives you time to patch by detecting exploitation attempts during maintenance windows.
Cut through the noise
Tripwires generate real signals — no tuning, no threshold games, just proof that someone’s inside.
Show your SOC is battle-ready
Prove coverage, test detections, and close the loop between validation and response.
What defenders can now demonstrate
We’re monitoring critical access points
Tripwires protect the assets and paths real attackers use — not just theoretical ones.
We’re detecting lateral movement in action
Tripwires fire on real credential use and privilege abuse — not simulated signals.
We’re operationalizing every pentest
Tripwires extend the value of every NodeZero test — from initial compromise to active defense.
We’re reducing dwell time
By catching threats early, we reduce how long attackers stay hidden inside.
