ShadowPlex is Acalvio's AI-powered Preemptive Cybersecurity Platform, built on patented autonomous cyber deception technology to detect and disrupt attacks before adversaries reach their objectives. Protected by 25 patents, the platform deploys deceptive artifacts — decoys, honeytokens, and fake credentials — across IT, OT, and cloud environments to generate high-fidelity alerts the moment attackers engage them.
The platform comprises four integrated product lines: ShadowPlex Advanced Threat Defense for early intrusion detection across hybrid environments, ShadowPlex Identity Protection for detecting credential misuse and lateral movement through deception-based ITDR, ShadowPlex Cloud Security for agentless multi-cloud threat detection via native cloud provider APIs, and ShadowPlex Targeted Threat Intel for collecting real-time intelligence on attacker tools and behaviors.
Because deceptive assets carry no legitimate business value, any interaction is an unambiguous indicator of malicious activity, producing alerts resistant to evasion and virtually free of false positives. Integration with CrowdStrike Falcon, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and other SIEM and SOAR platforms enables automated deployment of deception artifacts and orchestrated containment within existing security stacks.
ShadowPlex serves midsize enterprises through Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, with flexible deployment across cloud, on-premises, and managed service provider environments. The platform has been recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar for Deception Technology for four consecutive years and holds a 4.9-star rating on Gartner Peer Insights.
