Pacific Northwest National Laboratory s shadow figment technology foils cyberattacks

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory RICHLAND, Wash.–Scientists have created a cybersecurity technology called Shadow Figment that is designed to lure hackers into an artificial world, then stop them from doing damage by feeding them illusory tidbits of success. The aim is to sequester bad actors by captivating them with an attractive–but imaginary–world. The technology is aimed at protecting physical targets–infrastructure such as buildings, the electric grid, water and sewage systems, and even pipelines. The technology was developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The starting point for Shadow Figment is an oft-deployed technology called a honeypot–something attractive to lure an attacker, perhaps a desirable target with the appearance of easy access.
