In cybersecurity, a honeypot is a decoy computer system, network, or application designed to attract cyberattacks. It acts as a trap that mimics legitimate digital assets to detect, deflect, or analyze unauthorized access attempts without putting real operational systems or data at risk.
StingBox is a commercial, plug-and-play network honeypot and intrusion detection device designed to function as an early-warning digital tripwire for homes, small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), and managed service providers (MSPs). Founded in 2019 by Michael Aiello and Paul Williams, the StingBox Official Website platform aims to make active threat detection accessible without requiring specialized cybersecurity staff. [1, 2, 3]
