The Man-in-the-Middle Defense
One cybersecurity startup, formed by three former high-ranking US government cybersecurity officials, claims to have found a novel way to pull ahead. Trinity Cyber’s technology cleans data traffic both in and out of an organization by actively replacing malicious content with benign.
It's a new approach in the market, Gartner analyst Peter Shoard said in a recent report: "Trinity Cyber is able to send false responses to adversaries to confuse and divert them from their objective, leaving them not really understanding why they have not been successful."
In effect, it's a man-in-the-middle tactic, except that instead of being a tool of cybercrime it’s being applied to fight it.
