Acalvio ShadowPlex Cyber Deception Solution Brief

This solution brief outlines the Acalvio ShadowPlex platform and its role in advancing Zero Trust maturity through cyber deception. It describes Zero Trust as a security framework that emphasizes continuous verification and assumes that breaches may occur. The document details the importance of visibility and analytics in identifying cyber threats, particularly in the context of traditional security solutions that often fail to detect sophisticated attacks. The brief explains how Acalvio ShadowPlex employs active defense strategies, including the use of deceptive entities to lure attackers and detect threats early in the attack lifecycle. It highlights various use cases for the platform, such as detecting living off the land attacks, identity threats, insider threats, and threats targeting unmanaged endpoints. The brief also references compliance frameworks and standards from organizations like NIST and CISA, emphasizing the necessity of integrating deception capabilities into cybersecurity strategies for both public and private sectors.
