Mar 01, 2026 Honeypot Catching in the Wild AI Red Team
AI-Native Security Platform
Traditional security fails when attackers are already inside. Beelzebub delivers a full-stack AI platform to continuously validate defenses, deceive intruders, and extract actionable intelligence. We expose lateral movement with zero false positives, slashing MTTR from hours to seconds and cutting SOC costs by 60%.

Beyond Traditional Prevention
The AI-Native Security Platform
Adaptive AI Deception
Full-Stack Visibility Across Your Entire Infrastructure
Deploy high-interaction runtime deception sensors everywhere attackers move: Kubernetes, multi-cloud, APIs, IoT, and enterprise AI agents. Our fully managed platform deploys serverless traps in minutes with zero operational overhead. When zero-day exploits and supply chain attacks bypass your perimeter, adaptive deception is the only way to expose hidden lateral movement.
Autonomous SOC & Intelligence
Instant Containment & Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)
Transform silent compromises into actionable intelligence in minutes. Our CTI hub safely detonates zero-day malware in isolated sandboxes to extract precise IoCs and TTPs. Simultaneously, our autonomous AI SOC leverages these insights to instantly contain threats and generate executive-ready forensic reports. Slash MTTR to seconds and cut SOC costs by 60%.
Continuous Threat Validation
Continuous Validation with Arcangelo
Stop waiting for adversaries to strike first. Our platform acts as a persistent, automated red team, continuously mapping your attack surface and executing safe, real-world campaigns against your network and AI models. Expose critical vulnerabilities and validate your defensive posture before attackers exploit them. Ensure your SOC is always ready to defeat the latest AI-enabled threats.
From Zero to Protected in Minutes
How Beelzebub Works
1) Deploy Runtime Deception Sensors
Deploy high-interaction runtime deception sensors across your entire infrastructure: Kubernetes, multi-cloud, APIs, IoT, and enterprise AI agents. Our fully managed cloud platform creates realistic, vulnerable-looking assets in minutes without disrupting production workloads. Zero operational overhead, zero false positives, only confirmed threats trigger alerts.
2) Engage & Extract Intelligence
When attackers interact with our sensors during lateral movement, our adaptive AI keeps them engaged in a completely isolated environment. Simultaneously, our CTI hub performs comprehensive threat analysis, safely detonating zero-day malware in sandboxes and inspecting payloads to extract precise TTPs. Turn attacker persistence into your actionable intelligence advantage.
3) Autonomous Response
Leveraging the extracted intelligence, our autonomous AI SOC isolates compromised assets in seconds, permanently stopping lateral movement. The platform instantly generates executive-ready forensic reports with clear remediation steps, eliminating manual triage. Transform hours of manual incident response into seconds of autonomous, precision containment.
Enterprise Compliance & Regulatory Alignment
Ensure strict compliance with the lateral movement detection and incident reporting requirements mandated by NIS2, DORA, EU AI Act, and SOC 2. Beelzebub provides total post-breach visibility and undeniable audit trails for every intrusion attempt. Trusted by Fortune 500 leaders across telecommunications, finance, and critical infrastructure.

Stories
Here's What People Are Saying
Cybercriminals are evolving, and so are the defenders. Beelzebub’s AI-native deception platform is flipping the script with LLM honeypots that lure and expose cryptojacking malware. 🧠 While attackers think they’re winning, Beelzebub’s AI-driven SOC is watching, analyzing, and responding in real time.

Beelzebub: Open-source honeypot framework
Donna Ross
CISO
Beelzebub: Open-source Honeypot! AI-powered honeypot framework creates a secure, high-interaction environment to detect and analyze cyber threats. It’s designed for low-code deployment and supports multi-protocol decoys like SSH, HTTP, TCP, and MCP to detect prompt injection attacks against LLM agents. Unlike traditional honeypots, Beelzebub uses an LLM sandbox to interact with attackers safely.
Meisam Eslahi
Executive Director - EC-Council
The framework generates high-fidelity threat intelligence, detecting command patterns and techniques used by real attackers. The combination of realism and automation allows security teams to operate realistic honeypots without the traditional maintenance and supervision costs. Beelzebub represents a significant evolution in proactive detection: it acts as an early warning system, reduces false positives, and helps refine defenses through real operational information on attacks targeting environments with artificial intelligence.
Paul Martinez
Senior Manager, Cybersecurity at KPMG
The Beelzebub framework is an advanced honeypot that provides a very secure environment for detecting and analyzing attacks. The framework is very easy to set up and uses artificial intelligence to simulate the behavior of a honeypot.
Peyman khodabandeh
Security Audit Team Leader - Tejarat Bank
Prompt injection is still an open threat. Beelzebub’s new MCP honeypot catches it in action,right inside your agent pipeline. Trigger logs. Attack metrics. Safer models.
