Advantages of honeypot: Honeypots collect data from actual attacks and other unauthorized activities, providing analysts with a rich source of useful information. Acts as a rich source of information and helps collect real-time data. Identifies malicious activity even if encryption is used. Wastes hackers’ time and resources. Improves security. Ordinary cybersecurity detection technologies generate alerts that can include a significant volume of false positives, but honeypots reduce this volume because there is no reason for legitimate users to access them. Honeypots can be good investments because they do not require high-performance resources to process large volumes of network traffic looking for attacks, because...
