# Implementing Network Deception with Honeypots
## When to Use
- When deploying deception technology to detect lateral movement
- To create early warning indicators for network intrusion
- During security architecture design to add detection depth
- When monitoring for unauthorized internal scanning or credential theft
- To gather threat intelligence on attacker techniques and tools
## Common Misconfigurations & Verification
Honeypots most often provide false comfort because they are deployed in
monitor-only mode, are trivially fingerprintable, or sit where no attacker will
