Case Study: Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Company strengthens IP protection and OT network security with Acalvio ShadowPlex

Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Company, a global industrial equipment maker with 3,000 employees and more than 25 offices and plants worldwide, was frequently targeted for intellectual property and customer data theft. The company needed better visibility into lateral movement, low-false-positive detection, and safer security coverage for its OT environment, so it selected Acalvio Technologies and its ShadowPlex deception platform.

Acalvio Technologies deployed ShadowPlex with a single deception farm projecting about 4,000 decoys across VLANs in DMZ, enterprise, and OT networks. The solution quickly uncovered unauthorized legacy devices and, within 1.5 years in production, became part of the company’s primary control set for detecting lateral movement, integrating alerts with email, SIEM, and reporting to improve risk management and OT security.
