a financial services organization detects threats in 62 minutes with Acalvio Technologies

A financial services organization faced significant cybersecurity challenges, including detection gaps that left its critical financial infrastructure and sensitive data vulnerable to advanced threats like ransomware and identity-driven attacks. To address this, they deployed Acalvio Technologies' ShadowPlex Advanced Threat Defense and Identity Protection products to add a proactive deception layer to their security strategy.

The solution from Acalvio involved deploying a rich set of decoys and honeytokens across their enterprise, including protection for payment systems like SWIFT. This implementation resulted in the detection of lateral movement and zero-day ransomware attacks, filled existing security gaps, and enhanced their overall threat detection and response capabilities without impacting their production infrastructure.
