Turn entire unused subnets, VPC ranges, and dark IP blocks into an active defense grid. A single sensor emulates thousands of IPs, transforming empty infrastructure into a high-fidelity detection surface.
Portspoof Pro - Active Deception Grid for Network Security and Threat Detection

Slow attacker tools. Exhaust their patience. Detect them instantly.
What is Portspoof Pro?
Portspoof Pro is an advanced active deception system designed to detect, actively slow down, and deter threats on your perimeter and internal networks.
By overwhelming attackers with massive, polymorphic networks of realistic hosts, we turn their offensive methodologies into a strategic disadvantage. We force them to navigate a hostile environment where movement is painful, stealth is compromised, and automation is broken, exhausting their patience and resources while giving you early actionable telemetry in previously blind spaces.
From minutes to hours. Time wasted, tools hung, patience exhausted
From few hosts to entire networks. One sensor, huge deception surface
Across whole networks. Silent, immediate, unnoticed
Structured intel to your SOC. Rich JSON, SIEM-ready
One Sensor. Many Networks.
Drag to compare: a single deployment emulates thousands of unique hosts

Benefits
Shift the cost of attack. Detect early.
Shift the advantage back to the defender. By flooding scanners with thousands of dynamic service behaviors, we force attackers to waste hours analyzing fake assets, exhausting their resources and breaking their automationâturning their own tools against them.
Detect threats before they've mapped your environment. Real-time behavioral profiling confirms malicious intent, then turns raw network noise into structured intelligenceâtool signatures, attack techniques, sophistication levelsâstreaming rich JSON events directly to your SIEM/SOAR for instant triage.
Architected for maximum isolation and compliance using Micro-Segmented Deception Sensors. The deception engine operates within a strict, hermetic network sandboxâthreats are engaged in total isolation with no risk to your production workload.

Compliance & Frameworks
Supports ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, NIS2, and DORA requirements
NIS2 Article 21
Requires network monitoring and detection capabilities with prompt detection of anomalous activities and continuous ICT risk monitoring.
Portspoof provides continuous session-based reconnaissance detection with detailed incident timelines for threat analysis and incident documentation.
DORA Article 10
Requires detection of anomalous network activity and ICT-related incidents with mechanisms to promptly identify unusual patterns and potential threats.
Portspoof delivers behavioral profiling that identifies stealth reconnaissance, mass scanning campaigns, and unknown device probing patterns.
ISO 27001 A.8.20
Requires defense against port scanning and reconnaissance attacks including network monitoring and logging to detect scanning activities.
Portspoof detects SYN, FIN, NULL, XMAS, and ACK scan techniques and fingerprints common scanning tools.
NIST CSF DE.CM-01
Requires networks and network services be monitored to find potentially adverse events including reconnaissance activities and anomalous behavior.
Portspoof provides MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping with behavioral threat intelligence for adverse event detection.
CIS Control 13
Requires deployment of network monitoring and defense capabilities to detect scanning or probing of systems accessible to networks.
Portspoof provides out-of-band reconnaissance detection that operates independently of production traffic, eliminating the need for extensive baseline learning periods.
Logging Standards
ISO 27002 Section 8.15 and NIST SP 800-92 require security event logging with sufficient detail for incident analysis and compliance audits.
Portspoof generates structured JSON security events with session forensics, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and SIEM integration for compliant log management workflows.
