Threat Defense for Active Directory (TDAD) employsHoneypot Trapsas a primary prevention technique to detect and expose attackers. These honeypot traps act as decoys within the network, mimicking legitimate Active Directory (AD) objects or data that would attract attackers aiming to gather AD information or exploit AD weaknesses.

Honeypot Trap Functionality:

Honeypot traps are strategically placed to appear as appealing targets, such as privileged accounts or critical directories, without being part of the actual AD infrastructure.

When attackers interact with these traps, TDAD records their actions, which can then trigger alerts, allowing administrators to identify and monitor suspicious activities.

Exposure and Mitigation:

By enticing attackers to interact with fake assets, honeypot traps help expose malicious intentions and techniques. This information can be used for forensic analysis and to enhance future defenses.

This technique allows organizations to expose potential threats proactively, before any real AD resources are compromised.

References: This approach is part of Symantec’s Active Directory security strategies and utilizes honeypot mechanisms to deter and identify intruders in real-time​.

When an administrator uses the "Invite User" feature to distribute the Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) client, the end-user receives a direct link via email to download the SES client. This email typically includes:

Download Link:The email provides a secure link that directs the user to download the SES client installer directly from Symantec’s servers or a managed distribution location.

Installation Instructions:Clear instructions are often included to assist the end-user with installing the SES client on their device.

User Access Simplification:This approach streamlines the installation process by reducing the steps required for the user, making it convenient and ensuring they receive the correct client version.

This method enhances security and user convenience, as the SES client download is directly verified by the system, ensuring that the correct version is deployed.

Calculating storage requirements for Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) involves gathering specific information related to data retention and event storage needs. The required information includes:

Number of Endpoints:Determines the scale of data to be managed.

EAR Data per Endpoint per Day:Refers to the Endpoint Activity Recorder (EAR) data generated by each endpoint daily, affecting storage usage.

Number of Days to Retain:Indicates the data retention period, which impacts the total volume of stored data.

Number of Endpoint Dumps and Dump Size:These parameters define the size and number of memory dumps, which are essential for forensic analysis and troubleshooting.

This information allows accurate calculation of storage needs, ensuring adequate capacity for logs, dumps, and activity data.
