Thinkst

Thinkst takes a deliberately different approach to intrusion detection: instead of trying to identify every possible malicious event, it creates attractive decoys that legitimate users should have no reason to touch. Thinkst Canary can deploy deceptive services, systems and credentials that generate high-confidence alerts when they are accessed. Canarytokens extend the concept to lightweight digital tripwires that can be placed in files, folders, APIs and other locations. Because normal users should not interact with these assets, an alert can provide a strong signal that suspicious activity is occurring. This makes Thinkst particularly useful as a complementary layer alongside conventional endpoint, network and identity controls. Its lightweight deployment also makes deception practical across environments where maintaining large monitoring stacks can be difficult.
