On-demand honeypot deployment

Internet-facing decoys that emulate the systems you run, deployed and operated by Webscout on your behalf. Know what is targeting your technology before your production assets are hit.

The problem

The window between disclosure and compromise is collapsing

In an era of machine-speed, AI-enabled exploitation, organisations need to know what is targeting their specific technologies before production assets are hit.

On-demand honeypots absorb real attack traffic as patient zero, on sacrificial sensors, and buy you critical time ahead of real-world compromise.

How it works

From your stack to targeted intelligence

  1. 01

    Specify

    Tell us which systems and services to emulate.

  2. 02

    Deploy

    Webscout deploys, operates and instruments all honeypot infrastructure on your behalf.

  3. 03

    Observe

    Exploitation attempts and attacker infrastructure are captured, with JA4+ fingerprints.

  4. 04

    Act

    Intelligence specific to your technology arrives in the Webscout Observability Platform, filtered from the noise.

What you get

Signal about your technology, not the internet’s noise

  • 01

    Specific to your stack

    Threat intelligence about the technologies you actually operate.

  • 02

    Ahead of compromise

    See exploitation attempts on decoys first, while there is still time to act.

  • 03

    Attacker infrastructure

    The addresses and tooling behind each attempt, ready to block or hunt.

  • 04

    Nothing to run

    Webscout operates the whole honeypot estate for you.

FAQ

Questions about on-demand honeypots

What is an on-demand honeypot?

An internet-facing decoy that emulates a system or service you run, deployed when you need it. Real attackers find it and try to exploit it, so you learn what is targeting your technology before your production assets are hit.

Who runs the honeypots?

Webscout. It deploys, operates and instruments the whole honeypot estate on your behalf, so there is nothing for your team to run.

What do we receive?

Exploitation attempts and the attacker infrastructure behind them, with JA4+ fingerprints, delivered in the Webscout Observability Platform and filtered from the internet’s background noise.

How is it different from deception technology inside our network?

Deception technology places decoys inside your network to catch an intruder who is already there. An on-demand honeypot sits on the internet, outside your network, and emulates the systems you expose, so it records attempts against your technology before they reach your production assets.

How does honeypot data become intelligence?

Every interaction with a decoy is recorded. Webscout separates the internet’s background scanning from attempts aimed at the technology you run, and delivers those exploitation attempts and the infrastructure behind them as intelligence specific to your stack.
