SSH Honeypot Deception

Early Detection & Deception Response

SSH honeypot decoys surface attacker behaviour as it happens and alert your operators, giving your team early warning and the evidence to respond on production systems.

From Manual Triage to Early Visibility

Honeypot Response Capabilities

Decoy services and behaviour modelling surface attacker activity and alert your team

Early Detection

Decoy SSH services surface attacker activity, with Bayesian and Markov behaviour modelling distinguishing real intrusions from noise

Engage & Alert

Decoys keep attackers occupied while operators are notified, giving your team time to respond on production systems

Adaptive Honeypots

Decoy behaviour adapts to attacker actions to sustain engagement and capture more of the intrusion

Decoy Network Coverage

Decoy services can be placed across network segments to widen the surface where attacker activity is observed

Detect, Capture, Alert Workflow

Planned SIEM/SOAR/EDR Integration

PHANTAQSM is designed to forward honeypot alerts and evidence into your existing security tooling. The integrations below are on our roadmap as the product matures.

Planned API integrations with common SIEM/SOAR platforms
Forwarding of alerts and captured evidence
Roadmap support for playbook triggers
Configurable alert routing to your team

What We Measure

The design goals we build toward as we validate the platform in pilots

High signal
Decoy interactions are inherently suspicious
Early
Surface attacker activity sooner
Low noise
Few false positives by design
Evidence
Tamper-evident SHA-256 capture
