Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Insider threat detection is the process of identifying malicious, risky, or unauthorized actions that originate from within an organization. These actions may come from employees, contractors, partners, or accounts that have been compromised. Detection focuses on behavior that indicates misuse of legitimate access rather than external intrusion alone.
CounterCraft deploys realistic decoy assets across the environment that mirror real systems and data. When an insider or compromised account interacts with these assets, the activity is captured and analyzed. This produces verified alerts that indicate real risk rather than assumed anomalies.

Yes. When stolen or misused credentials are used for lateral movement or system exploration, deception assets are often touched during that activity. These interactions expose unauthorized access early. This gives security teams visibility before sensitive systems are reached.
Decoy assets are not part of normal workflows and are not accessed by legitimate users. Because of this, interactions with them strongly indicate malicious or inappropriate behavior. This significantly reduces the volume of false alerts compared to behavior baselining alone.
CounterCraft can surface activity related to compromised credentials, malicious insiders, and internal reconnaissance. It also exposes lateral movement that bypasses endpoint controls. These signals help teams identify threats that blend into normal access patterns.
Captured activity shows where the actor moved, what they attempted to access, and how the behavior progressed. This context helps responders assess impact quickly. It also supports faster containment and remediation decisions.
Yes. Smaller teams benefit from reduced alert volume and clearer signals. Larger organizations gain visibility into complex internal environments where insider risk is harder to detect.
CounterCraft can be deployed in hours. Once deception assets are deployed to reflect the environment, detection begins immediately. Any interaction produces meaningful data. Teams often gain visibility from the first day of operation.
Monitoring behavior after login is critical. Deception reveals misuse when credentials are used to explore or move laterally. This approach detects abuse even when access appears legitimate.
A significant portion of breaches involve insiders or compromised internal accounts. Many incidents begin with valid credentials. This makes internal visibility essential for effective defense.
Yes. Deception does not monitor user content or communications. It observes interaction with decoy assets that normal users never touch, preserving privacy while identifying risk.
