HoneyHarbor
A hosted deception fleet for SMBs that deploys isolated decoy services, captures minimized attacker observations, clusters evidence across consenting tenants, and stages reputation reports for analyst approval.
SMBs may benefit from active deception but lack staff to operate believable decoys, isolate them and review attacker evidence. HoneyHarbor deploys disposable tenant-scoped sensors, records protocol interactions, uses constrained generation to vary fake environments, and surfaces investigation candidates in a managed dashboard. The supplied research confirms several active open-source LLM honeypots with multi-feed reporting, one verified capability and an expensive managed-deception incumbent, while finding no SMB-priced managed LLM-deception service. The closest source project is AGPL-licensed, so a commercial service requires a documented license strategy or clean-room implementation; copying code is not permitted by assumption. Automatic external reporting is unsafe: IP addresses can belong to proxies, compromised hosts, researchers or shared infrastructure. Sensor observation, fingerprint candidate, cross-sensor correlation, analyst disposition, report approval, feed acknowledgement, later reputation action and remediation remain separate. Generated decoys operate with default-deny egress, synthetic secrets and no production authority. Cross-customer correlation uses minimized, purpose-limited features only with tenant authorization and cannot expose another tenant's events. Success is earlier, reviewable detection evidence—not attacker identity, guaranteed prevention or a universal reputation verdict.
An SMB security leader or managed security provider that wants active deception coverage without operating a sensor fleet internally.
Fresh open-source activity supports a strong current window.
SMB security and managed providers are concrete, though environment size and budget need discovery.
One cross-reference and no inbound links support baseline convergence.
Several active open projects and a high-priced incumbent validate demand while the managed SMB tier remains open.
Operations and analyst review constrain scale, external reporting creates false-positive risk and licensing requires care.
