Acalvio, an AI-powered preemptive cybersecurity company, announced 360 Deception, the next generation of cyber deception designed to break AI-driven attack automation. As autonomous adversaries operate at machine speed, traditional security controls struggle to keep pace. By incorporating 360 Deception into their existing tech stack, customers will be able to disrupt AI-driven threat campaigns and expose malicious intent before compromise occurs.
Agentic AI can autonomously run exploits at machine speed and has weaponized trust in identities. Breakout times have collapsed to minutes and seconds. When automation can probe, validate, and pivot faster than investigations can complete, the margin for reactive confirmation disappears. By the time suspicious activity is confirmed, lateral movement and privilege escalation are already underway.
360 Deception makes cyber defense dynamic and extends it to real assets. The platform creates a high-uncertainty environment that exposes attackers early by disrupting the stable ground truth that automated attack tools depend on.

Gartner®* recently stated that “The age of reactive cybersecurity is over. As AI-powered threats proliferate, only AI-driven preemptive cybersecurity offers a viable defense. This isn’t just an enhancement; it’s a paradigm shift toward an autonomous cyber immune system (ACIS).” The firm recognized Acalvio as the ‘company to beat’ in AI-powered advanced cyber deception2. We believe that it underscores the urgent need for advanced, proactive defense mechanisms that can outmaneuver increasingly sophisticated threats.
Echoing this urgency, Ram Varadarajan, Co-founder and CEO of Acalvio Technologies, noted, “AI-assisted and Agentic AI intrusions have compressed response timelines to the point where reactive defense is structurally late. Security teams are still looking for anomalies while attackers operate inside trusted systems. 360 Deception changes the control point by destabilizing attacker automation. By corrupting what AI can confidently trust, we force exposure before privilege escalation or domain compromise.”
360 Deception has already been battle-tested. During the U.S. Navy’s Cyber Resilient Systems Advanced Naval Technology Exercise — a competitive evaluation operating under the military’s new ‘assume you are compromised’ standard — Acalvio was named the first-prize winner. Evaluated against realistic, sophisticated intrusion scenarios, Acalvio outperformed conventional controls by not only surfacing malicious intent but also actively degrading attacker performance. Delivering 100% true positives and denial of attacker objectives, 360 Deception proved its unique ability to halt automation-driven intrusions at the point of compromise.
Reactive defense is no longer sufficient in this new age of AI. Preemptive defense that both generates early threat detection and actively disrupts attacks is now a requirement. 360 Deception delivers this capability through an intuitive, easy-to-use platform that doesn’t burden security teams. It represents the next generation of deception engineered to break AI automation.
