The cloud honeypot feature is purchased separately from Security Center and charged based on the number of probes you deploy. This document explains probe types, pricing limits, and the purchase steps.
Probe types and pricing
The cloud honeypot feature supports two probe types, both at the same price:
| Probe type | Deployment target | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual private cloud (VPC) probe | Installed on a VPC | One probe per VPC |
| Host probe | Installed on a host | One probe per host |
You can purchase between 20 and 500 probes. To purchase more than 500 probes, submit a ticket to contact technical support.
Purchase cloud honeypot probes
