Abstract
Because of its potential to enhance network security and threat intelligence capabilities, the incorporation of honeypots into an organization's IT infrastructure has drawn a lot of attention. This study's primary goal is to ascertain how well honeypots work for identifying and thwarting possible threats. The authors provide a thorough technique to accomplish the research goal, which includes surveying IT specialists to gather information on their opinions and experiences with integrating honeypots into their IT infrastructure. This method offers a comprehensive grasp of the topic by considering the viewpoints and real-world experience of experts in the field. The authors thoroughly explain the various forms of honeypots, go over their benefits and drawbacks, and provide evidence for the selection of appropriate honeypot types in the theoretical section. The practical portion entails using the VMware platform to set up a honeypot on an internal network. The T-Pot platform, a well-known and popular cybersecurity solution, was selected for this work. The findings of this study show how well honeypots identify and thwart attacks, providing a strong basis for suggesting their incorporation into an organization's IT infrastructure.
