What is a honeypot in cyber security what does it do?

 

A honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyber attackers and detect,

deflect and study hacking attempts to gain unauthorized access to information systems.

The purpose is to refine an organization’s intrusion detection system (IDS)

and threat response.

So it is in a better position to manage and prevent attacks.

There are two primary kinds of honeypots: production and research.

honeypot is a security mechanism that creates a virtual trap to lure attackers.

An intentionally compromised computer system allows attackers to exploit vulnerabilities

So you can study them to improve your security policies.

A honeypot provides increased visibility and allows IT, and security teams, to defend against attacks that the firewall fails to prevent.

There are considerable benefits of honeypots, and many organizations have implemented them as additional protection against internal and external attacks.
