About this listen

Learn the ins and outs of honeypot server deployment and management in this episode of The Backup Wrap-up. We break down the cybersecurity concept using examples from Mr. Robot episodes 1.6 and 1.7, showing how these deceptive systems can catch both external attackers and insider threats.

A honeypot server works by creating an enticing target that looks valuable but contains no real business data. The key is making it accessible through common exploits and monitoring every access attempt. Curtis and Prasanna discuss real-world implementation strategies, from naming conventions to network placement, and explain why the honeypot only works if attackers don't know it exists. They also cover the critical importance of remote log storage for forensic analysis and how these systems can reveal attack patterns and entry points during incident response.
