Santa Clara, Calif. – Acalvio™ Technologies, an innovator in Advanced Threat Defense, today announced that it has received an investment from GV (formerly Google Ventures). This latest investment brings the total investment to date in the recently launched company to $22M. GV’s investment will accelerate deployment and adoption of Acalvio’s Deception 2.0 technology, which leverages dynamic deception and data science to deliver timely, high fidelity and cost-effective detection solutions, extending it to Internet of Everything (IoE) and cloud environments.

“Acalvio has developed highly differentiated, scalable deception technology that produces better detection and detailed attack analysis than traditional deception technology,” said Tyson Clark, Partner at GV. “As hacks and data breaches become increasingly prevalent, CISOs are taking a more holistic view of security architectures. Acalvio is well positioned in this market as companies deploy next-generation deceptive response technology as part of their core security strategies.”
