# Attivo BOTsink

Attivo BOTsink server is a deception and response platform. BOTsink uses deception techniques and a matrix of distributed decoy systems to turn an entire network into a trap. When an attacker engages, BOTsink generates alerts and visual maps, quarantines the infected device, and then analyzes the attack movement, methods, and actions.
