For those who aren’t familiar, the Deception feature was designed to actively trick attackers by placing fake decoys and lures across your network. When an attacker interacts with these decoys, it would alert your security team immediately, giving you a chance to respond before any real damage occurs.
👉🏻While it was an innovative approach to detecting advanced threats, Microsoft is removing this feature, and all decoys and lures will be automatically deleted by the end of October. This might be due to evolving threat detection methods or a shift toward other security strategies; Microsoft hasn’t shared specific reasons yet.
💭 Security pros, here’s the question: would you have loved to use Deception in your environment, or do you think it’s better that it’s being retired?
What do you think, was it time for Deception to retire, or will it be missed?
