lllusive continuously discovers and automatically remediates privileged identity risks that are exploited in all ransomware and other cyberattacks. Despite best-practice investments to protect identities, including deployment of PAM and MFA, 1 in 6 enterprise endpoints holds exploitable identity risks.
Illusive makes it easy for security teams to get visibility into the vulnerable identities sprawled across an organi
Illusive reduces cyber risk by shrinking the attack surface and stopping attacker movement. Illusive creates a hostile environment for attackers, depriving them of the means to progress towards critical assets after breaching the perimeter. Hackers are increasingly finding more vulnerabilities within an enterprise’s security stack, allowing them to move laterally within the network and conduct reconnaissance and exfiltration. Illusive’s Active Defense identifies and removes the vulnerable connections and credentials that enable attackers to move undetected, and then replaces them with deceptive versions that fool attackers into revealing their presence upon engagement. Unlike behavioral or anomaly-based threat detection, Illusive’s agentless approach captures deterministic proof of in-progress attacks and provides actionable forensics to empower a quick and effective response. Illusive detects Advanced Persistent Threats, targeted ransomware and malicious insiders in ways that supplement other defensive technologies, allowing security teams to beat both attackers and red teams alike.
Illusive is the first company spun out of the company-building venture group Team8, which was co-founded by veterans of Israel's military intelligence division, Unit 8200.
Illusive’s multinational clients include top ten organizations in the financial services sector and the top five in legal, pharmaceutical and retailer sectors.
