How can organizations detect, delay and confuse attackers who have already penetrated their network? This is the challenge that the Decor project, led by FEE CTU PhD student Muris Sladić and Dr. Sebastian Garcia from Stratosphere Lab, a research group at the Artificial Intelligence Center at FEE CTU, is responding to. Decor uses artificial intelligence and the principles of cyber deception defense to detect, confuse and contain attackers who have already penetrated the corporate network. This gives defenders a more timely overview of the attackers' activities and more time to react. The project won the Get Spin-off/Start-up Ready! program, which helps students and researchers turn research ideas into future startups and spin-offs.
