BitTrap

Uses Cryptocurrency to Identify Cyberattackers

BitTrap employs a blockchain-based cybersecurity solution that leverages attackers’ motivations to provide singular detection capabilities. The BitTrap solution deploys a network of wallets in every endpoint or cloud instance. Each wallet contains a risk-adjusted bounty of cryptocurrency assets, the amounts of which are calibrated based on research from the BitTrap Attacker Behavioral Labs aiming to ensure the wallet will capture an attacker’s attention. Collecting the bounty triggers an incident-response operation that alerts the organization of the breach, allowing them to mitigate damage or loss. Image courtesy of BitTrap
