Protection provided by BitFence will block high risk hosts, malicious payloads, viruses, malware, suspicious addresses automatically within seconds everywhere around the globe after threat is "mined" by the network of their StingMiners and risk scored with BitFence Engine.

So this means BitFence device is enough to secure our network? Can it be good solution for antivirus as well? How honeypot concept will help in removing viruses as well?

In a simplified terms, the project creates like a trap, that is not noticeable by hackers, now when they get into the specified site (trap) and perhaps try to do something malicious, they will be detected and their identities will be noted which will be spread across the network, they also will open up a store where you can source for any protective hardware or software of your choice, so is like the total package, hope this helps

A pretty good explanation of what the honeypot type of trap is, honeypots and viruses are not the same, honeypots are to prevent against active attacks from the outside basicaly instead of them pounding your computer trying to let them in the honeypot lets them into a virtual box that they can hack all they want, because its all nonsense, and then when they leave poof they hacked nothing.

Exactly, well explained; the idea of the honeypot is to understand what kind of things they are trying to attack, why and how they are carry out these techniques.

Once identified, it's easier to protect yourself against the same attack occuring on a "REAL" network rather than a virtual which contains no sensitive data.

That was a very nice explanation of what honeypot is and what it does. I hope many people will now understand what this project is about and how it can save many people.

I agree i think the honeypot can help a lot of people maybe even big companies who get attacked a lot even exchanges who get hacked could use this to prevent it in the future.

Is a very viable one that will generate millions of profits for the community and revenue for the project if judiciously utilized, every brand is seeking of new means to protect their IT ecosystem from cyber attacks, the result of which is very unpleasant and heart wrenching, so is a welcome development that i'm pretty sure everyone will like to embrace

The other important part which I think is really something that they have in the roadmap is the hardware aspect. Given much of hardware they will end up selling will incorporate the threat defence and protection means obtained from the baits/honeypots running throughout the network.
