Stream.Security, a leading provider of real-time Cloud Detection and Response solutions, announced the launch of Stream Traps, the industry’s only deception-based cloud security solution that dynamically adapts to a customer’s environment to trap, track, and terminate adversaries in real time.

Stream Traps redefines cloud detection and response by deploying decoy assets to detect, mislead, and delay attackers, providing unparalleled visibility and control. Unlike traditional deception solutions that are complex to deploy and lack contextual awareness, Stream Traps leverages Stream.Security’s proprietary CloudTwin™ model. This model provides real-time knowledge of the cloud infrastructure, guiding the intelligent placement of traps only where an attacker can realistically move next.

Stream Traps redefines CDR with decoy assets that detect and delay attackers, providing full visibility and control.

Stream.Security stands alone in integrating traps as a core component of a comprehensive detection and response platform. This unique approach enhances the fidelity of threat detection and, with integrated quarantine capabilities, significantly mitigates potential loss and accelerates Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).

“Security operations teams face constant pressure to differentiate real threats from false positives. Stream Traps addresses this challenge by providing unmistakable evidence of attacker behavior, improving both detection accuracy and response speed,” said Stav Sitnikov, CPO of Stream.Security.

Stream Traps empowers SecOps teams to detect and respond more effectively to threats in cloud environments by:

  • Delaying and Distracting Attackers: By presenting realistic, monitored assets that mimic high-value cloud resources, Stream Traps diverts attackers’ attention and traps them within sandbox environments operated by Stream.Security, giving security teams a crucial window to detect and contain the threat. This engagement with decoy files wastes attacker time and resources, redirecting them for deeper analysis.
  • Delivering High-Fidelity Threat Signals: Any interaction with a monitored asset triggers an immediate alert, eliminating uncertainty and providing actionable intelligence on real attack activity. These alerts are enabled by Stream.Security’s CloudTwin™ technology, which utilizes full cloud visibility to inform security teams on critical assets and strategic placement of traps. This dramatically increases detection fidelity, eliminating false positives and enabling faster, more precise incident response.

With the introduction of Traps, Stream becomes the first cloud detection and response platform to proactively decoy attackers and mitigate threats based on the following unique capabilities:

  • Intelligent Placement: Unlike traditional alerting mechanisms that can generate excessive noise, Stream Traps automatically identifies and deploys monitored assets in the most vulnerable and high-impact locations within an organization’s cloud environment. This strategic deception placement ensures optimal effectiveness.
  • AI-Powered Naming and Tagging: Utilizing a Large Language Model (LLM), Stream Traps generates realistic asset categorization, naming, and tagging that blends seamlessly into the customer’s existing cloud structure, increasing the likelihood of engagement from attackers and the effectiveness of the traps.
  • Seamless Deployment via Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Security teams can instantly deploy Stream Traps using ready-to-deploy templates that align with their cloud architecture—reducing friction between SecOps and DevOps teams.
  • Sandboxed Threat Isolation: Attackers who engage with monitored assets can be redirected into a controlled environment operated by Stream.Security, preventing lateral movement and further reducing risk to the organization. Unlike first-generation honeypots, Stream leads attackers into a sandbox environment where they are quarantined.
