About ShadowPlex

ShadowPlex is a cybersecurity platform from Acalvio Technologies designed to detect, defend, and deceive sophisticated threats. It combines preemptive security, the ability to detect stealthy credential misuse and privilege escalation paths, and disruption of attacker movement inside identity systems so organizations can safeguard their digital environments. ShadowPlex also detects stealthy techniques used by advanced persistent threats (APTs) and AI-driven attacks early. By using these capabilities, users gain deeper insights and proactive defenses against evolving cyber threats. Key capabilities: Schedule a Demo Preemptive Security Detect Credential Misuse Disrupt Attacker Movement Early Threat Detection Best for: organizations that need reliable protection against advanced cyber threats.

Acalvio ShadowPlex is an innovative, AI-powered preemptive cybersecurity platform using deception technology to detect, divert, and neutralize advanced threats such as APTs, insider threats, and ransomware. Its integrated approach delivers a comprehensive solution to early threat detection, threat engagement, and active defense, all within a unified platform. With over 25 patents, Acalvio’s AI-driven deception techniques create an environment in which attackers are tricked into revealing their tactics, tools, and intentions, allowing defenders to respond proactively. The platform features a user-friendly management interface that provides security teams with detailed insights into ongoing deception activities, attacker behaviors, and threat intelligence. Its capability to deploy agentless deception across cloud workloads, identity management systems, and hybrid environments makes it highly adaptable. Its real-time threat intel engagement, along with patented autonomous deception, ensures rapid identification of stealthy attacks, vastly reducing dwell time and potential damage. Acalvio’s solutions emphasize an active, preemptive stance—exposing attacker lateral movement and privilege escalation before they can cause critical harm.
