CounterCraft in UAE

Use deception to answer a defined investigation question

CounterCraft’s portfolio concerns deception environments and intelligence from interactions with them. This differs from assuming that ordinary production telemetry reveals every adversary action. A useful enquiry defines the scenarios, assets to represent and analysts who will review observed behaviour. Keep the deception boundary distinguishable from the production systems it is intended to inform.

The catalogue retains platform, The Pulse and The Edge enquiry names. Confirm current packaging and the role of each offered component against manufacturer documentation before purchase. Do not infer that every retained label remains a separate product or that an advertised outcome is guaranteed in a customer’s environment.

Contain the evaluation and retain evidence context

Agree a bounded architecture, approved placement and the method by which events reach security operations. Use authorised validation to check that interactions are attributable to the intended environment and that analysts receive useful context. Define how false or unexpected interactions are reviewed, including legitimate administrative activity.

A UAE deployment should approve processing, access and any external exposure according to the customer’s rules. The design must prevent a deception exercise from becoming an unmanaged route into real services. Handover needs environment ownership, evidence retention, alert review, change and recovery procedures. The selected technology can support investigation, but the project should not claim it eliminates all blind spots or proves that an absence of events means there is no threat.

Evidence to request for this scope

• Request current component names and their roles in the proposed architecture.
• Verify isolation, authorised placement and event integration.
• Demonstrate an approved interaction and the resulting analyst review with supporting evidence.
