Canary Tokens (also called honeytokens) are deceptive digital assets for just £1 per month that exist solely to alert you when someone accesses them - providing an early warning system for cyber attacks with virtually zero false positives. Unlike traditional security tools that try to prevent attacks, Canary Tokens assume breaches will happen and focus on early detection. Place these digital tripwires throughout your network, systems, and files - fake credentials in databases, decoy documents on file servers, bogus API keys in code repositories, trackable URLs in sensitive locations. When an attacker touches any token, you receive an instant alert with details about who accessed it, from where, and when. Since legitimate users have no reason to access these honeytokens, any activity is highly likely to be malicious. Perfect for detecting data breaches before massive damage occurs, identifying insider threats accessing unauthorized resources, catching attackers who penetrated your perimeter, and monitoring for credential theft or API key abuse. Easy to deploy, low cost, high value - the cybersecurity early warning system you need.
Receive immediate alerts via email, SMS, or webhook when any canary token is accessed. Know within seconds that an attacker is in your systems - not days or weeks later.
Legitimate users have no reason to access these decoy resources. Any trigger is definitively suspicious activity - high-fidelity detection without alert fatigue.
Word documents, PDFs, Excel files with embedded tracking. When opened, they phone home with details about who accessed them and from where.
Trackable URLs and web links. Place them in hidden locations, fake directories, or decoy emails. When clicked, instant alert with IP address and user agent.
Fake usernames, passwords, API keys, AWS credentials. Insert into databases, code repositories, config files. Attackers trying to use them trigger alerts immediately.
Fictitious database records that legitimate queries won't touch. Data exfiltration attempts or unauthorized queries trigger alerts when these records are accessed.
Unique hostnames that resolve to our monitoring infrastructure. When an attacker tries DNS resolution, we detect it instantly and notify you.
Decoy email addresses embedded in documents or databases. When an attacker sends mail to these addresses, you know data was compromised.
Place canary tokens strategically throughout your infrastructure. Fake AWS credentials in a config file labeled "backup_credentials.txt". A decoy Word document named "Q1_Financial_Restructuring_Plan.docx" on a file server. Bogus database entries for non-existent customers. A trackable URL in a hidden directory. These tokens look valuable to attackers but serve no legitimate purpose.
When an attacker compromises your network and explores looking for valuable data, they discover these tokens. They appear to be exactly what attackers want: credentials, sensitive documents, database records. The attacker attempts to use the fake AWS key, opens the decoy document, queries the fake database record, or clicks the trackable URL.
The moment the token is accessed, it phones home to our monitoring infrastructure. You receive an instant alert with full details: which token was triggered, timestamp, source IP address, user agent (for web-based tokens), geolocation of the attacker, and any other available metadata. You know immediately that an intrusion is occurring.
Early detection means early response. Isolate the compromised system before the attacker pivots to others. Identify the attack vector and patch vulnerabilities. Monitor the attacker's behavior to understand their tactics. Gather evidence for forensic analysis. All because you caught them early - touching your canary tokens instead of your real assets.
Multiple tokens deployed in different locations reveal attacker methodology. Did they target file servers? Database servers? Cloud credentials? This intelligence helps you understand attacker priorities and strengthen defenses where it matters most. Canary tokens don't just detect attacks - they provide valuable threat intelligence.
