LogRhythm Security Researcher to Present Honeypots for Active Defense at InfoSec Southwest (ISSW) 2015

BOULDER, Colo., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, today announced that Greg Foss, senior security research engineer, will be presenting "Honeypots for Active Defense" on April 12 at 10:00 a.m. at InfoSec Southwest (ISSW) 2015.

When given attention, care and feeding, honeypots reveal invaluable information such as enterprise simulations about how a company's systems might be compromised. The problem is that honeypots can be hard to configure, challenging to deploy and difficult to manage. An external honeypot will reveal the status of outward facing systems. But put a honeypot on an internal network and it's a different story.  Many security teams will get past deployment challenges but then will not effectively log in and monitor what the honeypot is doing.

In this session, Foss, a security expert with deep understanding and background in honeypot configuration, deployment and usage, will discuss steps you can take to ensure bad guys find your honeypots quickly – and before they find and penetrate the real systems you are trying to protect. He will offer new techniques that allow IT security pros to easily harvest the data provided by honeypots and will outline the differences between high-interactive and low-interactive honeypots and system scenarios where each type is ideal. Foss will walk through new software configurations and interfaces that help simplify monitoring of honeypots. And finally, he will note vendors developing interfaces that correlate honeypot data with other alerts and intelligence.
