To get the most out of HelloHacker and maximize your chances of detecting suspicious activity, it’s important to plan its deployment and use carefully. The points below will help you optimize your sensors, reduce false positives, and strengthen the protection of your critical assets.
Whitelist internal scanners and tools
Add your internal vulnerability scanners or monitoring tools to the whitelist so they don’t trigger false alerts and your notifications stay relevant.Set up smart alerting
Configure email alerts with appropriate thresholds so you stay informed without being overwhelmed, and integrate them into your SOC for centralized detection and response.Cover as many network segments as possible
Place HelloHacker sensors across different network segments, even less obvious ones, to increase your chances of spotting an intrusion early.Place near critical assets
Install your physical honeypots near sensitive areas like server rooms, network cabinets, or critical equipment to maximize their effectiveness.Regular maintenance and monitoring
Check sensor connectivity regularly, update or rotate decoys so they remain believable, and review logs frequently to catch signs of intrusion.Train the team on HelloHacker alerts
Make sure your team knows how to identify and understand honeypot alerts to avoid confusion and quickly recognize real threats.
