How to develop effective honeypots

Honeypots – decoy systems used for learning cyber attackers’ capabilities and potential objectives – can be very useful to organizations, businesses, and individuals.

In this podcast recorded at the Hack in the Box conference recently held in Amsterdam, Pedram Hayati, the founder of Smart Honeypot, talks about the most effective use cases for honeypots.
