Honeynets, Know Your Enemy

By Raul Siles
In today's complex security world, where innovative attack methods are developed every day, one of the main concerns is finding a way to discover and respond to them in an efficient and effective way, applying new defenses and countermeasures. GenIII Honeynets provide an easy way to deploy and run one of the most advanced, cutting-edge and complex detection and analysis security solutions available today. They are the best way to learn about the tools, tactics and motivations of the attacker community, helping to understand your enemy. As mentioned by Sun Tzu in his book, The Art of War, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
