Dymium spooks ransomware with honeypot specters

TLDR:

• Dymium, a security startup, offers ransomware defense using honeypot traps.
• Dymium’s platform includes Ghost File and Ghost AI services to deceive attackers and protect data.

Dymium, a security startup based in California, has recently launched its Dymium Platform along with two new services, Ghost File and Ghost AI, to combat ransomware attacks. The platform creates honeypot traps at scale to distract and deceive attackers. The Ghost File service disguises actual data stores, while Ghost AI cloaks personal information submitted through language models. These decoy capabilities aim to protect data stores that have already been breached by ransomware attacks. However, industry experts caution that while honeypots can be effective, they should be used in conjunction with other security tools. The rise of generative AI in ransomware poses a new challenge for established security techniques, making it crucial for organizations to constantly evolve their defense strategies.
