You are the security administrator at Loki Research and Development. You are concerned about hackers trying to break into your network and steal engineering information related to Loki's future product line of toasters. In reality, they are more than just toasters. They are really "Toast Experience Systems". The Loki TES 1, will use proprietary technology to scan your bread, bagel or Pop Tart, analyze its temperature and density, and then deliver it back to you perfectly toasted to your customized preference every time. Clearly, this is a game changer in the toasting industry, and you are concerned that competitors from Cuisinart and Bunn may attempt to acquire key information about the Loki TES 1.

You are considering building a honeypotand installingit on the network. How will you convince your CEO that it is worth the time and resources (equipment and money) to setup a honeypot?

Consider the following questions:

• What is the value to an administrator/company in creating a honeypot?

What can the administrator do with the log information provided by a honeypot?
