Modelling the costs and benefits of Honeynets

TL;DR

This paper introduces a model to evaluate the costs and benefits of Honeynets, aiding organizations in making informed decisions about deploying this security technology.

Contribution

It presents a novel model for quantifying costs and benefits of Honeynets, addressing the lack of precise data for security resource allocation.

Findings

Provides a framework for cost-benefit analysis of Honeynets

Facilitates informed decision-making in security deployment

Enhances understanding of Honeynet effectiveness

Abstract

For many IT-security measures exact costs and benefits are not known. This makes it difficult to allocate resources optimally to different security measures. We present a model for costs and benefits of so called Honeynets. This can foster informed reasoning about the deployment of honeynet technology.
