Acalvio ShadowPlex Proactive Defense Deception Solution

Deception Acalvio ShadowPlex is a Deception Security solution – next-generation proactive defense, helping enterprises detect APT, insider attacks and advanced threats early with near-absolute accuracy.
In the context of increasingly stealthy, targeted attacks that bypass traditional defense layers, Deception ShadowPlex brings a proactive – accurate – low-noise approach for modern SOC.

Challenges of traditional security against APT and insider threat

Solutions such as firewall, EDR or SIEM still play an important role, but struggle to detect advanced threats early when:

  • Attackers hide legitimately in the system

  • Lateral movement occurs slowly and sophisticatedly

  • SOC overwhelmed by false positives

  • MTTD time extended for months

👉 This is precisely the gap that the Deception Acalvio ShadowPlex solution is designed to fill.

Deception Security Solution – What is proactive defense?

Deception Security is an Active Defense method, in which the system proactively creates decoys and attack traps to lure intruders to reveal themselves right from the reconnaissance or initial intrusion stage.

Fake assets (decoy & lure) are simulated close to the real environment:

  • Server

  • Workstation

  • AD account

  • Database

  • Network services

👉 Any interaction with Deception assets is considered an attack, enabling detection with nearly 100% accuracy.
