ShadowPlex enables Government organizations to execute the three key aspects of adversarial engagement with operational efficiency:

• Detection: Rapidly detects adversary presence both on-premises and in-cloud infrastructure
• Disruption: Derails and delays attacks
• Intelligence: Easily gathers granular forensics of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures

ShadowPlex leverages novel AI capabilities for both ease of use and effectiveness, by making deception autonomous and customizing deception for every subnet and endpoint. By not requiring agents on production systems, ShadowPlex is low risk to deploy and produces high fidelity alerts.

“Federal agencies and critical infrastructure are under increasingly sophisticated and persistent attacks,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. “With the addition of Acalvio’s ShadowPlex Advanced Threat Defense to the Carahsoft Cybersecurity portfolio, we now offer state-of-the-art advanced deception technology through our reseller partners to reinforce an Active Defense cybersecurity posture for our joint customers.”

Acalvio Technologies have been approved for the Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) Program Approved Products List (APL), and are available on Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, and NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, NCPA Contract NCPA01-86, and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902.
