Acalvio ShadowPlex Active Defense, built on ShadowPlex Autonomous Deception platform, provides early detection of cyber threats with precision and speed. ShadowPlex is built on 25+ issued patents and leverages AI to make deployment and management of deception autonomous. Based on unique DeceptionFarms® architecture, ShadowPlex Active Defense delivers distributed deception at enterprise scale, across on-premises, OT and Cloud workloads. Advanced Threats have evolved to living-off-the-land, file-less, malware-less, becoming stealthier and persistent, making them very hard to detect. ShadowPlex Active Defense combines breakthrough Deception Technology with Advanced Analytics, to detect and respond to such advanced threats.

Comprehensive Deception Palette
ShadowPlex provides a variety of deceptions to cast a wide net to arrest threats before they can cause harm.The deception types span Decoys that are added to the network, Breadcrumbs that are deployed on existing enterprise assets, Baits that act as tripwires on endpoints and Lures that are deliberately mis-configured or vulnerable services or applications that can be effectively used in ferreting latent threats. The extensible framework allows customers to add new deception types.
