Retail & Distribution Company Grows Business While Shrinking Cybersecurity Risk

Illusive Identifies Cyber Attackers Quickly and Delivers Forensics in Minutes

The largest cybersecurity breach of U.S. national security in history–the supply chain compromise of Solarwinds–went undetected by government security tools. Yet the tactics and techniques used by the adversaries are known and have been documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework for years. So what went wrong?

This paper proposes a different approach to adversary detection by detecting the constants in a breach using the concept of active defense as described by the new MITRE Shield framework.

Illusive is the foundation of our incident response plan and has rapidly elevated our security level. Every part of our network is covered by a maze of deception, and I can zero in on an attacker within two lateral movements more than 98 percent of the time. Illusive gives us a lot of confidence that we’re protecting the business.

—Security Manager

The Challenge

As the company grows through acquisition and expands online commerce, it wanted to simultaneously reduce cyber security risk with:

Improved awareness of potential Advanced Persistent Threats in the network
The ability to immediately differentiate real threats from false positive alerts
Powerful, easy-to-use tools for forensic analysis and remediation

The Solution

Illusive was deployed to give the security team an attacker’s view of the network and instant visibility into important, legitimate threats.

The Results

Eliminated false positive alerts and increased ability to focus immediately on real threats
Eliminated hours of time previously spent in manual investigation with Illusive automated real-time, source-based forensics
Gained instant insight into the status of network protection with Attacker View
Identifies an attacker 98+ percent of the time within two lateral moves
