Innovation allows for a first of its kind Projection of Deceptions b\u0000\u0013 making Deception technology safe, easy and cost-effective<\/em>
\nSanta Clara, CA b\u0000\u0013 Oct 1, 2019<\/strong> b\u0000\u0013 Acalvio Technologies, the leader in Cloud and Autonomous deception, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 20,170,310,706, titled b\u0000\u001cTunneling For Network Deceptions.b\u0000\u001d This invention enables a paradigm shift in Deception Deployments: from traditional in-line placement of deceptions to safer, automated and agile projections of deceptions. Acalviob\u0000\u0019s Autonomous Deception solution, ShadowPlex, leverages this innovation to engineer Deception Farms b\u0000\u001cat Enterprise Scaleb\u0000\u001d. The resultant Deception fabric is unmatched it its ease of use, scale and cost-effectiveness, while maintaining the highest levels of detection efficacy.
\nAcalvio has been leading the market with innovations that make Deception technology easy to use and deploy at enterprise scale. Acalvio was the recipient of the 2018 RSA SandBox Innovation Finalist Award and 2019 SINET innovation finalist award.
\nb\u0000\u001cAcalviob\u0000\u0019s mission is to bring Advanced Defense to Enterprise and IoT environments across all types of IT operating environments, whether theyb\u0000\u0019re on-premise, private cloud or public cloud platforms,b\u0000\u001d said Ram Varadarajan, co-Founder and CEO at Acalvio. b\u0000\u001cDeception is attractive because of its inherent low false positive rates, allowing security teams to focus their efforts on actual threats. With this innovation we have truly b\u0000\u0018industrializedb\u0000\u0019 the use of Deception technology, bringing radical improvements to both deployment efficiency and detection efficacy.b\u0000\u001d
\nWhile Deception technologies have the unique capability to deliver high quality alerts (low false positives), Deception solutions have been saddled with deployment and safety challenges. This makes deploying deception to distributed networks, remote offices and branch offices, and cloud workloads expensive and cumbersome. In-line brute force deception solutions also create an inadvertent security exposure b\u0000\u0013 because these decoys can be taken over by zero-day attacks that then turn Decoys into assets for the threat actor. Consequently, Deception solutions have had limited success in Enterprise-scale deployments. Acalviob\u0000\u0019s innovation, b\u0000\u001cTunneling for Network Deceptionsb\u0000\u001d, addresses these challenges and provides the basis for Autonomous Deception.
\nb\u0000\u001cAfter deploying ShadowPlex, we could see immediate benefits in the decoy and deception technology Acalvio brings to the table. Not only was the product extremely easy to deploy, we immediately recognized the value and began expanding our ShadowPlex coverage which helped us detect lateral movement of any threats,b\u0000\u001d remarked Sean Oldham, CISO at Broadcom. b\u0000\u001cHuge credit goes to the patented innovations from Acalvio that makes all this possible.b\u0000\u001d
\nb\u0000\u001cThe value of Deception technology to detect and respond to Advanced Threats has been well documented, however, its benefits were largely out of reach for most IT and OT enterprises. Acalviob\u0000\u0019s innovations have changed that b\u0000\u0013 they have made Deception practical and affordable at scale without sacrificing any of the efficacy,b\u0000\u001d said Dr. Eugene Spafford, Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University and founder and executive director emeritus of the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS), co-inventor of TripWire. b\u0000\u001cAll good innovations are obvious in hindsight b\u0000\u0013 Acalviob\u0000\u0019s seminal innovation of b\u0000\u0018network tunnelingb\u0000\u0019 to allow for decoys to be projected from afar is a very clever way to leverage the potential of Deception with no disruption.b\u0000\u001d
\nAs an innovator in deception-based security, Acalvio has built significant intellectual property related to deploying and managing enterprise-scale security. The company has been granted 25 patents so far, with 15+ pending. The patents range across new deception methods, using software-defined networking (SDN), applying artificial intelligence (AI), and new approaches to threat analysis based on attack artifacts. These innovations translate to tangible and measurable benefits in terms of (1) Early Detection b\u0000\u0013 Reducing b\u0000\u001cdwell timeb\u0000\u001d (2) Accurate Detection b\u0000\u0013 Low b\u0000\u001cfalse positivesb\u0000\u001d and (3) Cost Effective Detection b\u0000\u0013 Low CapEx, Low OpEx, MSSP-ready, Carrier\/Service Provider-ready Deception platform, etc. Thereby, ShadowPlex leverages these patents to provide a vastly differentiated and leading-edge deception solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
