Intent
What are they looking for? Reveal the people, projects and assets they pursue through their searches and choices.
Reconnaissance-focused cyber deception
Know what attackers want, before they strike
Simbotnik draws attackers into connected decoys built around your people, projects and assets. See what they want, how far they’ll go and what they can do—then defend what matters most.
Built on more than 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, telecommunications and threat intelligence.
The approach
Build around the subject of reconnaissance.
A person. A location. A project. An asset. Reconnaissance follows connections between them.
Simbotnik creates a controlled environment of connected decoys for that research to unfold. Define the paths worth watching and the actions that matter, then examine how visitors discover, explore and return to them.
See what a visitor wants, how determined they are to get it and what they can actually do. Use that evidence to prioritise investigations, review exposed information and strengthen the controls protecting the corresponding real assets.
Deployed outside production. Built to reveal reconnaissance before it reaches your real assets.
Determination
How far will they go? Follow repeat visits, deeper exploration and attempts to reach protected material.
Capability
What can they do? See which barriers they overcome, what they access and what they take.
How it works
How connected deception becomes intelligence.
Create a controlled environment outside production, make a discoverable trail available and observe the recorded activity that follows.
Create connected decoys.
Build a controlled environment around the people, places and things that form the subject of reconnaissance.
Make the trail discoverable.
Publish selected breadcrumbs and paths for research to uncover, while keeping the decoy environment outside production.
Follow the reconnaissance.
Capture discovery, navigation, internal searches and return visits inside the controlled environment.
Identify the leads that matter.
Rank leads by intent, persistence and capability. Focus your team on the activity that deserves attention.
Deliver actionable intelligence.
Put findings to work in your threat intelligence stack through STIX and TAXII.

Engagement analysis
Evidence that changes priorities.
Know what draws attackers in, what keeps them coming back and how far they get. Turn that insight into sharper investigations and stronger defences.
Goals
Define meaningful actions within a decoy environment, such as reaching a particular page or following a selected breadcrumb. See which visitors reach those milestones.
Funnels
Map the route from initial discovery to deeper exploration. Identify where visitors continue, abandon the trail or reach a goal.
Access milestones
See who attempts protected access, who gets through and what they download.
Search analysis
Inspect the terms visitors enter within the decoy environment. Understand which people, places and subjects they actively seek.
Visitor journeys
Connect navigation paths and recorded return visits. Examine the sequence behind an individual interaction.
Investigation priorities
Prioritise persistent, capable attackers. Use what they pursue to uncover exposures and strengthen the assets they target.
Product evidence
Inspect the recorded evidence.
Design the decoy. Follow the attacker. Deliver the intelligence. One workflow from reconnaissance to response.
Decoy environment
Build convincing websites, protected content and discoverable trails around the assets you want to defend.
Visitor journeys
Bring searches, access attempts and downloads together into a clear picture of attacker activity.
STIX / TAXII delivery
Publish Observed Data and reviewed Indicator, Sighting and Note objects through a tenant-scoped TAXII 2.1 collection.

The model
Built for operational intelligence.
How is this different from a honeypot?
Simbotnik creates connected decoys around people, places and things for a researcher to discover and explore, then examines recorded activity through that controlled environment.
What forms can a decoy take?
Build website decoys from selected public pages, complete with protected content and unique lure links. Connect them around the people, projects and assets attackers are researching.
What does qualification mean?
Turn attacker actions into ranked investigation leads. Scoring brings intent, determination and capability into focus, with the activity behind each score a click away.
What can my team do with the evidence?
Find out which sensitive subjects attract attention, expose the information helping attackers and reinforce the assets they pursue. Give your team a clear starting point for investigation and defence.
How does intelligence leave the platform?
Recorded interactions produce STIX 2.1 Observed Data. Analyst-promoted findings additionally produce Indicator, Sighting and assessment Note objects, available through a tenant-scoped TAXII 2.1 collection.
What does a briefing cover?
The briefing covers operation design, decoy preparation, engagement scoring, STIX/TAXII output and the requirements for evaluating Simbotnik in your environment.
Experience
Built from operational experience.
Simbotnik's founder brings more than 25 years of experience across telecommunications, cybersecurity and threat intelligence, including hands-on work with government and military customers. That background informs the product's focus: collecting useful evidence, understanding adversary behaviour and delivering intelligence that security teams can act on.
Private briefing
See connected deception in context.
Walk through a private decoy preview, recorded engagement, investigation-lead qualification and STIX/TAXII delivery, then discuss how an authorised evaluation could be shaped around your organisation.
The product is in active development. Private demonstrations are available.
