Traditional Zero Trust focuses on access control. Acalvio adds what’s missing: early, intent-based detection that reveals credential misuse, lateral movement, and privilege abuse inside the perimeter.
Protect Identity Infrastructure
  • Deploy deception across AD, Entra ID, and cloud IAM to detect credential misuse before escalation.
Detect Post-Access Movement
  • Reveal attacker activity that occurs between Zero Trust policy enforcement points.
Surface Privilege Abuse
  • Catch misuse of elevated credentials and service accounts with decoys that trigger intent-based alerts.
Accelerate Zero Trust Maturity
  • Add early detection and containment to strengthen alignment with CISA and DoD Zero Trust frameworks.

Zero Trust controls access. Deception reveals intent.

Even in a Zero Trust architecture, attackers can exploit credentials and move silently once inside. Acalvio adds early, intent-driven detection that fills the visibility gap between policy enforcement points.

Read the Solution Brief

  • Continuously monitor for suspicious behavior on dormant assets.
  • Enable iterative hunts based on attacker behavior.
Detect Identity Threats (ITDR)
Strengthen identity security with deception-powered detection.
  • Detect identity misuse across hybrid identity infrastructure.
  • Protect service accounts, AD credentials, and cloud IAM tokens.
  • Generate real-time alerts when credentials are probed or used.
  • Reveal privilege escalation attempts before impact.
Protect Unmanaged Endpoints
Extend visibility and detection to blind spots.
  • Detect attacks from unmanaged BYOD, IoT, and OT systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Acalvio enhances Zero Trust by adding intent-based detection between policy enforcement points—revealing credential misuse, lateral movement, and privilege abuse that identity controls may miss.

No. Acalvio integrates with your existing IAM, AD, and cloud identity systems without disrupting authentication flows or requiring changes to policies.

Yes. Deception generates high-fidelity signals based on adversary engagement—not behavior modeling or log correlation—making it ideal for environments where visibility is fragmented.

Acalvio maps directly to multiple Zero Trust pillars, including identity, visibility, analytics, and response—supporting maturity goals outlined by CISA and DoD Zero Trust frameworks.

Will this add operational complexity to my Zero Trust program? No. Acalvio’s AI-driven platform deploys deception assets intelligently and runs agentlessly—helping you gain early detection without adding overhead or noise.
