Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Smart attackers know how to find and follow network activity to find valuable assets. Deception technology takes advantage of that and sets a trail of normal-looking network activity to draw would-be attackers to fake assets. What happens next varies from product to product, but "all know with near certainty that an attack is taking place," writes reviewer John Breeden II. This article examines the unique features that four top deception tools bring to network defenses.
