A system for network surveillance to detect attackers, including a deception management server within a network of resources, including a deployment module managing and planting one or more decoy attack vectors in one or more of the resources in the network, wherein an attack vector is an object in memory or storage of a first resource that may be used to access a second resource, and one or more decoy servers accessible from resources in the network, each decoy server including an alert module that issues an alert when a specific resource in the network accesses the decoy server via one or more of the decoy attack vectors planted in the specific resource by the deployment module, and a delay module, delaying access to data on the decoy server while a resource accesses the decoy server.
