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

Detect them instantly. Slow down their tools. Exhaust their patience.
What is Portspoof Pro?
Portspoof Pro is an advanced active deception system designed to detect, actively slow down, and exhaust threats across 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 into 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.
Across whole networks. Silent, immediate, unnoticed
Benchmarked against nmap. Scans that take minutes now take days
From few hosts to entire networks. One sensor, huge deception surface
Structured intel to your SOC. Rich JSON, SIEM-ready
One Sensor. Many Networks.

Benefits
Shift the cost of attack. Detect early.
Detect threats before they've mapped your environment. Real-time behavioral profiling confirms malicious intent, then turns raw network noise into structured intelligence: tool signatures, attack techniques, and sophistication levels. Stream rich JSON events directly to your SIEM/SOAR for instant triage.
Shift the advantage back to the defender. Scanners drown in thousands of polymorphic service signatures while tarpitting holds connections open. Scans that take minutes now take days. AI reconnaissance agents exhaust their context windows on fabricated data, turning their own tools against them.
Architected for strict isolation and compliance using Micro-Segmented Deception Sensors. The deception engine operates within a hermetic network sandbox where threats are engaged and contained independently of your production workload.

DORA Article 10
Requires detection of anomalous network activity and ICT-related incidents with mechanisms to promptly identify unusual patterns and potential threats.
Portspoof Pro 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.
