Probing the depths: assessing the efficacy of the two-tier deception-driven security model

Abstract

In the age characterized by relentless cyber threats, the need for innovative and proactive security measures has never been more important. Deception is defined as the deliberate structure of tricks, traps, and false information to mislead and discourage threats, while providing timely warning signals and useful information to defenders. The two-tier deception-driven security model's implementation focuses on applying deception security techniques to deceive potential attackers and protect network resources, with an emphasis on a proactive defense approach. The study emphasized the deployment and deep testing of the model, which aims to assess its efficacy and feasibility in real-time practice. The study shows that the two-layered approach effectively defends the network within the multiple layers using a combination of decoys, honeypots, and deceptive network segments. The deception security model effectively prevents and confuses potential threats, improving the network's overall resilience and threat defense capabilities. The findings suggest that integrating deception techniques into cybersecurity frameworks can provide a robust layer of protection against evolving cyber threats. Furthermore, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on proactive cybersecurity strategies and offers practical insights for improving network defense mechanisms.
