Threat Deception & Telemetry for Financial Platforms
Deploy decoy endpoints across financial subnets to capture early-stage scanning, SSH brute-forcing, and credential probing before core payment systems are targeted.
Where financial infrastructure is targeted
Financial systems, payment gateways, and banking APIs operate under continuous automated reconnaissance. Threat actors scan perimeter boundaries daily to identify exposed management ports, unpatched microservices, or misconfigured API endpoints.
Automated bot networks probe public IP ranges for exposed SSH, RDP, and HTTP administration portals.
High background internet noise makes it difficult for security teams to distinguish routine port scans from targeted reconnaissance.
Traditional security tools trigger thousands of unverified alerts, straining SOC analysts during active incident response.
How DentiGrid observes probing in payment networks
DentiGrid places decoy honeypot nodes near financial DMZ boundaries. When an attacker probes a decoy endpoint, DentiGrid authenticates the interaction using HMAC-SHA256 timestamping, records the source telemetry, and exports an External Dynamic List (EDL) feed.
GATE operates as an edge reverse proxy in front of web APIs. It inspects inbound requests, validates JSON schemas against defined specifications, and blocks malicious traffic patterns before requests reach payment microservices.

From detection to perimeter enforcement
An attacker scans an enterprise IP range and probes a DentiGrid SSH decoy node.
The decoy node authenticates the interaction and sends signed HMAC telemetry to the ingestion gateway.
DentiGrid enriches the threat telemetry and updates the exportable External Dynamic List (EDL).
Perimeter firewalls and GATE edge proxies consume the EDL to drop subsequent connection attempts from the threat source.
What your engineering team receives
Security Stack Integration
Dectrax complements your existing SIEM, EDR, WAF, and identity controls. It does not replace core banking engines, perimeter firewalls, or identity providers.
Why pay Dectrax if GATE is open source?
GATE is an open-source edge proxy that can be deployed independently. Dectrax provides commercial value through DentiGrid deception node deployment, managed telemetry enrichment pipelines, multi-tenant portal workflows, EDL firewall feeds, and operational support.
