TALK 1: Intrusion Detection with Honeypots by Ian Kenefick

A honeypot is a computer system that uses 'deception' to capture adversarial activity. They can be cost effective, quick to deploy and extend, and are an excellent source of actionable threat intelligence - and thus worthy of a place in any defensive arsenal.

When exposed to the internet - honeypots can be used to capture malicious activity from the internet in the direction of your network perimeter.
When placed inside a private network - honeypots can be used to capture the activities of an adversary who has already breached perimeter defences and is moving laterally (an activity synonymous with intrusions such as those leading to extortion and Ransomware).

In this talk, we will discuss both - but focus a bit more on Intrusion Detection Honeypots inside a private network.
