Abstract

There are provided measures for enabling advanced local-network threat response. Such measures could exemplarily comprise receiving, at a local-network honeypot entity, a username/password related authentication data in relation to a login attempt to the honeypot entity, triggering a threat response operation at a local-network backend entity upon detection of the username/password related authentication data, the threat response operation comprising testing validity of the username/password related authentication data in one or more local accounts of the local-network, and in case the username/password related authentication data is detected to be valid for any account in the local-network, determining that said account is compromised and locking the compromised account.
