What term describes a simulated environment, created to mislead and analyze the behavior of potential attackers?
Antivirus Software
Honeypot
Firewall
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
A honeypot is deliberately designed to appear as a potential target for an attacker, with the intent of being compromised to study attack methods and motivations. It serves no business purpose but acts solely as a trap. On the other hand, a firewall is implemented to block unauthorized access to network resources and does not serve as a decoy. An intrusion prevention system (IPS), while it might involve some form of deception to catch attackers, generally functions to prevent attacks by identifying and responding to them in real time and does not create simulated environments. Antivirus software is designed to detect, block, and remove malicious software; it does not typically use deception as a tactic.
