VIRTUALIZED NETWORK HONEYPOTS

Disclosed are various embodiments for virtualized network honeypots. In one embodiment, client computing devices that are coupled to a network are each configured with both a primary host and a secondary virtualized host. The primary host provides workstation functionality for users having permission. The secondary virtualized host is configured to route network traffic to and from a honeypot server. The honeypot server is configured to provide a honeypot environment. In another embodiment, a network connection request for a requested service is received from a connecting device. If the connecting device is authorized, the network connection request is routed to the requested service. If the connecting device is not authorized, the network connection request is routed to a honeypot server.
