Answer:

<h2>Honeypot is the correct answer</h2>

Explanation:

A computer system that is meant to mimic the likely targets of cyber attacks is called honeypot. It is used to deflect the attackers from a legitimate target and detect attacks. It also helps to gain info about how the cyber criminals operate. They have been around for decades, it works on the philosophy that instead of searching for attackers, prepare something that would attract them. It is just like cheese-baited mousetraps. Cyber criminals get attracted towards honeypots by thinking that they are legitimate targets.
