A threat deception platform is a cybersecurity solution that employs deceptive techniques such as decoy systems, fake assets, and traps to detect, analyze, and mislead attackers within a network. It enables organizations to proactively identify malicious activities and gather threat intelligence while minimizing the impact of real attacks.
The primary components of the threat deception platform are solutions and services. Solutions are advanced cybersecurity systems that use decoys, traps, and deceptive techniques to detect, analyze, and mislead cyber attackers by creating realistic fake assets within an organization's network. Deployment modes include on premises and cloud. The platform is used by organizations of varying sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. It supports applications such as network security, endpoint security, application security, data security, and others, and serves a wide range of end users, including banking, financial services and insurance, healthcare, government and defense, information technology and telecommunications, retail, energy and utilities, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
The threat deception platform market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides threat deception platform market statistics, including threat deception platform industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a threat deception platform market share, detailed threat deception platform market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the threat deception platform industry. This threat deception platform market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The threat deception platform market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.26 billion in 2024 to $2.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of advanced cybersecurity tools, rising number of sophisticated cyberattacks, growing awareness of proactive threat detection, increasing need for real-time incident response, and greater reliance on digital transformation.
The threat deception platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for adaptive and autonomous security solutions, growing adoption of zero-trust security frameworks, increasing concerns over insider threats, expanding implementation of cloud-based deception platforms, and greater use of threat deception in security operations centers. Key trends in the forecast period include development of advanced decoy automation for real-time threat engagement, integration with endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, innovation in deception fabric architectures for enterprise networks, development of machine-learning algorithms for predictive deception tactics, and integration with identity and access management frameworks.
The growing number of cyber threats is expected to drive the growth of the threat deception platform market going forward. Cyber threats refer to malicious activities or potential dangers aimed at disrupting, damaging, or gaining unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or digital data. This increase is fueled by rising digitalization, which expands the attack surface by connecting more devices, systems, and data online, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Threat deception platforms help address these threats by proactively detecting, misleading, and analyzing malicious activities through decoy assets and deceptive environments that expose attackers before they reach critical systems. For example, in June 2025, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, a UK-based government department, an estimated 1 percent of all businesses experienced a ransomware crime in the past 12 months, up from 0.5 percent in 2024, affecting approximately 19,000 businesses. Therefore, the growing number of cyber threats is driving the growth of the threat deception platform.
Primary companies operating in the threat deception platform market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as advanced cybersecurity deception systems to proactively detect, analyze, and mislead cyber adversaries. Advanced cybersecurity deception systems are intelligent security solutions that create realistic decoys and traps within networks to detect, analyze, and divert cyber attackers away from real assets. For instance, in March 2025, Infopercept Consulting Pvt. Ltd., an India-based platform-led cybersecurity company, launched the Real MDR Solution for complete cybersecurity protection through its consolidated cybersecurity platform called Invinsense, providing end-to-end security coverage across detection, exposure management, compliance, and remediation. The solution integrates advanced technologies such as XDR, deception, vulnerability management, and continuous threat exposure management to proactively identify and mitigate risks. It aims to move beyond traditional MDR by combining detection and response with preventive and engineering-led remediation for holistic cyber defense.
In March 2023, Rapid7 Inc., a US-based cybersecurity technology company, acquired Minerva Labs for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Rapid7 aimed to enhance its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service with advanced ransomware prevention technology, strengthening its ability to detect, contain, and neutralize sophisticated cyber threats. Minerva Labs Ltd. is an Israel-based cybersecurity company that provides a threat deception platform.
