Acalvio Smart Deception

Acalvio Smart Deception (ShadowPlex) is an enterprise cyber deception and active defense platform that deploys autonomous, high-fidelity decoys to detect, engage, and neutralize advanced adversaries within enterprise networks. Traditional security defenses often fail to detect stealthy cyberattackers who have bypassed perimeter firewalls and stolen legitimate credentials. Acalvio solves this challenge by dynamically generating realistic deception assets—including synthetic endpoints, fake domain controllers, decoy databases, breadcrumb credentials, and synthetic cloud workloads—across on-premises networks, multi-cloud environments, and remote endpoints. Built on patented Fluid Deception technology, the platform continuously adapts deception elements to blend seamlessly with production infrastructure, making decoys indistinguishable from real corporate assets to an intruder. When an adversary or automated malware attempts to scan, probe, or authenticate against a decoy asset, Acalvio triggers high-confidence, zero-false-positive alerts that immediately pinpoint the attacker's location, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. By diverting attackers into instrumented deception environments, Acalvio slows adversary progress, reveals attacker intentions, and coordinates automated containment actions with EDR, SIEM, and firewall platforms, significantly reducing dwell time and mitigating enterprise breach risk.
