Solutions by sector

One threat,
many contexts

CipherSentry adapts to the specific needs of every industry. From high-security banking to managed MSSPs.

Financial Sector

Banks, insurers and fintechs with critical infrastructure and strict regulatory obligations.

Pain Points

  • Attacks targeting administration credentials
  • Preparing evidence for DORA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001
  • SOC teams overwhelmed with SIEM alerts
  • Lateral movement inside the internal network

With CipherSentry

  • Detect credential stuffing before it reaches real systems
  • Forensic evidence ready for regulatory audits
  • Cut SIEM noise — only high-value alerts
  • Detect lateral movement with internal honeypots
Typical scenario

A SOC team deploys internal honeypots in administration subnets to detect lateral movement. Every access attempt to the honeypot is a high-value signal: nothing legitimate should ever connect.

Public Administration

Government bodies, defense and critical infrastructure with data sovereignty requirements.

Pain Points

  • State-sponsored APTs
  • Need to control where captured data resides
  • Limited cybersecurity budgets
  • Legacy systems with exposed ports

With CipherSentry

  • MIT open source sensor on your infrastructure; intelligence is processed in the CipherSentry Engine (EU)
  • Identify TTPs of advanced actors from real sessions
  • Low-cost solution with high intelligence return
  • Exportable logs for evidence management systems
Typical scenario

A public body deploys honeypots on its perimeter network. The logs stay on its own infrastructure. Detected reconnaissance patterns are reported internally or to the reference CERT.

Telecommunications

Network operators, ISPs and infrastructure providers with thousands of exposed devices.

Pain Points

  • Thousands of network devices with exposed SSH
  • Botnets recruiting routers and switches
  • Mass scanning of corporate IP ranges
  • Default credentials on field equipment

With CipherSentry

  • Indicators (IPs, credentials, commands) exportable via API for correlation in your SIEM
  • Capture of real credentials and commands that attackers try
  • Feed your blocklists with real attacking IPs
  • Botnet analysis: C2, droppers and persistence
Typical scenario

An operator deploys honeypots across its most exposed IP ranges. When an IP starts trying default network-equipment credentials, the alert arrives before the scan reaches real devices.

MSSP & Consultancies

Managed security service providers covering multiple clients.

Pain Points

  • Need for valuable evidence to demonstrate ROI to clients
  • Managing multiple clients from a single platform
  • Integration with existing SIEM and reporting platforms
  • Differentiation from the competition

With CipherSentry

  • Per-client API key for differentiated access to the engine
  • Intelligence report for every deployment
  • JSON API (statistics + IOCs) to integrate into your platform
  • Dedicated, isolated instance (on demand · in preparation)
Typical scenario

An MSSP includes the honeypot as an additional sensor in its base service. The monthly honeypot activity reports become tangible evidence of the value delivered to the client.
