Case Study: Manufacturing Company detects hidden cyberattacks with Illusive deception platform

Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Manufacturing Company, a global producer of industrial controls and environmental systems, needed to strengthen its cybersecurity with defense in depth and the assumption that attackers were already inside the network. The company also wanted a more manageable way to identify threats that bypassed existing endpoint, email, firewall, and web filtering defenses. It selected Illusive and its Attack Detection System and Attack Intelligence System after evaluating deception solutions.

Illusive deployed featherweight deceptions across the environment to expose lateral movement and attacker activity, with the Attacker View Management Console helping the security team prioritize alerts and manage the platform. The solution detected a fileless malware attack that other tools missed, enabled rapid forensic analysis by capturing the malware file hash, and closed previously unknown coverage gaps; after cleanup, the team was left with only five high-fidelity alerts. Manufactured Company’s CISO said the platform helped them identify and respond to threats within 10 minutes.
