Canary tokens and digital tripwires (Changelog Interviews #683)

Haroon Meer, founder of Thinkst, discusses Canary and Canarytokens — honeypots and digital tripwires deployed inside networks to detect attackers. Topics include the AWS API key token that attackers can't resist, a real credit card token backed by a bank partnership, the new Breadcrumbs feature that lures intruders toward canaries, a live demo of a hardware Canary impersonating a Synology NAS, and how Thinkst reached $22.5M ARR with zero outbound sales and no price increases in ten years.
