Breach Detection · The EFA family

EFAcanary

The tripwire for your network. EFAcanary plants convincing decoys — files, services, and accounts — that no legitimate user should ever touch. The moment an attacker does, you know, with the alert delivered over Secure Conduit Technology.

Detection that doesn't wait for a signature

Most breach detection depends on recognizing the attack — a known signature, a known bad IP, a pattern someone has seen before. That leaves a gap for anything new. EFAcanary closes it from the other direction: instead of trying to recognize the attacker, it lays traps only an attacker would trip.

Plug it in and it seeds your environment with decoy files, fake services, and tripwire accounts that blend in with the real thing. Legitimate users never touch them, so there are effectively no false positives — an EFAcanary alert means someone is somewhere they shouldn't be. Alerts travel over Secure Conduit Technology, the same hardened, monitored channel used across the EFA family.

What EFAcanary gives you

Decoys & tripwires

Realistic decoy files, services, and accounts seeded across your network. No legitimate user has any reason to touch them.

Instant, high-confidence alerts

A tripped decoy is a near-zero-false-positive signal. When EFAcanary alerts, someone is where they shouldn't be — act immediately.

Alerts over Secure Conduit

Notifications travel over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened, monitored channel used across the EFA family — so the alert path itself is protected.

Plug and play

Set it on the network and it goes to work. No agents to roll out, no analysts to staff, minimal configuration to get value on day one.

Hardware or virtual

Deploy the physical plug-and-play device, or run EFAcanary virtually on Hyper-V, Proxmox, and other common hypervisors.

MSP-friendly & tiered

Managed alerting and tiered service plans, with bundle pricing when EFAcanary is paired with other EFA family products.

Common questions

It seeds your network with decoys — files, services, and accounts that look real but that no legitimate user has any reason to access. When one is touched, EFAcanary raises an alert. Because the decoys are otherwise untouched, that signal is high-confidence by design.

No — that's the point. Unlike signature- or anomaly-based tools, EFAcanary only fires when a decoy is interacted with, and legitimate users never interact with decoys. Alerts are rare and meaningful.

Both. EFAcanary is a plug-and-play hardware device, and it also runs as a virtual appliance on hypervisors like Hyper-V and Proxmox. Either way it's designed to be up and useful in minutes.

Over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened, monitored channel that EFAgateway is built on. That keeps the alert path itself protected, and lets us deliver managed alerting across the EFA family in a consistent way.

Every EFA product makes every other one smarter

EFA Security is collaborative by design. Every product connects through Secure Conduit Technology — one hardened, monitored channel — so when one attacker is caught on any product anywhere in the community, the threat is neutralized locally and its tradecraft becomes intelligence that protects everyone else. Seen once, known everywhere.

1

Detect & sanitize

A bad actor hits any EFA product line — EFAgateway, EFAcanary, OpenEFA, and the rest. The threat is stopped and sanitized right where it lands, before it can do harm.

2

Strip your identity

The threat signal is extracted and every piece of customer-identifying information is removed. What's kept is the attacker's behavior — never who they targeted.

3

Record & share

The anonymized intelligence is recorded and distributed across the EFA community over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened channel the products already trust.

4

Protect everyone

Every other EFA deployment now recognizes that attacker on sight. A threat one customer sees becomes a threat the whole community is already defended against.

Your data stays yours. EFAintelligence shares what the threat was — never who was targeted. Customer identity, message content, and identifying metadata are stripped before anything ever leaves your environment. You contribute to the community's defense without exposing your business.
