Building a defensive deception layer inside Northgate's own estate so intruders trip an alert long before they reach anything real: decoys seeded where attackers look — a Layoffs_2024_confidential.xlsx honey file on a browsed share, a fake customer record, a honey AD account that caught two real intrusions, a fake AWS key with a named owner, and an isolated opencanary decoy with no outbound path. The program runs the eight-stage deception loop — strategy, honeytokens, honeypots, placement, alerting, triage, maintain and improve — and cuts the time to detect an intruder from eleven days to two, with every decoy touch validated, scoped and handed to incident response as one case.
