Case Study: a digital multimedia company achieves ransomware and APT detection with Acalvio ShadowPlex

Digital Multimedia Company detects malware across 2 data centers with Acalvio ShadowPlex

A digital multimedia company was concerned about mitigating ransomware and APT risks across its dynamic IT infrastructure, which supported thousands of servers and over 5,000 users. Their existing security controls lacked the visibility to detect such attacks in time. They selected Acalvio Technologies and its ShadowPlex deception technology as the best approach due to its scalable, low-overhead deployment model.

Acalvio ShadowPlex was deployed across the company's two data centers, using centralized Deception Farms to project decoys across hundreds of VLANs. The solution successfully detected persistent malware that had been missed by other tools, allowing for its complete removal. This detection helped identify compromised devices from a parent organization's network and enabled the firm to tighten its firewall policies. The solution has become their primary control for internal threat detection without imposing a significant operational burden.
