Webinar “The Trap of Universal Web Point – A New Standard for Detecting Web Threats”

Universal Web Point (UWP) is one of many highly interactive traps offered in the Labyrinth platform and one of the unique detection mechanisms available in this solution. Its key feature is the ability to realistically emulate a real web service directly in the client’s environment, along with controlled vulnerabilities that increase its attraction to attackers and provoke real attempts to break security.

During this webinar, we will show how Labyrinth differs from classic honeypots and distributed detection mechanisms and how it serves as a central point for observing adversary activity, allowing for the analysis of full attack paths instead of single events. We will also demonstrate how with highly interactive traps like Universal Web Point, the platform becomes an effective tool for detecting the presence of adversaries in the IT environment, providing security teams with a consistent and clear picture of web threats present in production environments.

We will show how centralization of detection simplifies the security architecture, improves the quality and clarity of security signals, and enables faster identification of techniques used by adversaries. Everything will be based on real scenarios from production environments, presenting specific attacks, their detection methods, and conclusions that can be directly utilized in SOC operations and threat hunting.

1. Introduction: Why classic honeypots are no longer enough

• A brief overview of traditional web traps and their role in threat detection
• Understanding common issues related to maintenance, scalability, and low signal value
