Viewing and Handling Honeypot Protection Events

Updated on 2025-01-07 GMT+08:00

Scenario

By default, the servers that proactively connect to the dynamic honeypot port are compromised intranet servers. Once a suspicious connection behavior is detected, an alarm is reported.

This chapter describes how to view and handle these alarms and events.

Viewing and Handling Honeypot Protection Events

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the upper left corner of the page, select a region, click , and choose Security & Compliance > HSS.
  3. Choose Server Protection > Dynamic Port Honeypot.
  4. (Optional) If you have enabled the enterprise project, select the enterprise project where the target server resides from the drop-down list.
  5. Under the introductions, view the protection overview.

    • You can view the number of protection policies, protected servers, and protection events.
    • You can enable the Automatically apply default policies to newly add servers. If is displayed, the function is enabled.

    Alert Severity

    Alarm threat level. Honeypot protection events are classified into the following two levels:

    • High risk: The remote server connects to the honeypot port for multiple times.
    • Medium risk: The remote server is connected to the honeypot port.

    Alarm Summary

    Summary of alarm events. Based on the information, you can learn about the server that may be compromised and the connection between the server and the port.

    Affected Asset

    Dynamic port server connected to the compromised server.

    Alarm Reported

    Time when an alarm occurred.

    Status

    Table 2 Parameters for handling alarm events

    Parameter

    Description

    Action

    • Ignore: Ignore the alarm event. The alarm is still generated when the next threat event occurs.
    • Mark as handled: You have manually isolated ports for the compromised server.
    • Add to alarm whitelist: Add the trusted server that triggers an alarm to the whitelist so that no alarm will be generated when similar events occur.

    Batch Handle

    If you need to handle the same alarm event at the same time, you can select the parameter.
