CyberTrap

CyberTrap builds deception technology: it places realistic decoy systems and lures at endpoints and across the network so that attackers who have already evaded perimeter and endpoint defenses reveal themselves the moment they interact with a fake asset. Because the decoys are custom-designed to blend into the target network, an attacker cannot easily distinguish them from real infrastructure, letting defenders observe the intruder’s tools and techniques in a contained, “glass box” environment rather than simply blocking and losing that intelligence.

Founded in 2015 in Vienna, Austria, CyberTrap grew out of a project run by SEC Consult, a well-regarded European penetration-testing and security consulting firm — giving the company real offensive-security pedigree behind its detection design. In 2017 it launched a deception-as-a-service offering specifically to make the technology affordable for midsize organizations, not just large enterprises and government agencies, and it has focused primarily on government and enterprise clients in the DACH (Germany-Austria-Switzerland) region.

A decade after founding, CyberTrap remains a small, privately-held company with no publicly disclosed funding rounds, and no independent deception-effectiveness benchmark or named breach-detection case study was found. Its credibility rests substantially on its SEC Consult origins rather than on independently published results.
