Attivo ThreatDefend

Attivo ThreatDefend (now integrated into SentinelOne Singularity Deception) is an enterprise cyber deception and active defense platform engineered to detect, deceive, and derail in-network cyber adversaries and malicious insiders before they can execute attacks or steal sensitive data. By deploying a comprehensive fabric of dynamic, authentic decoys across endpoints, networks, active directory environments, and cloud infrastructure, ThreatDefend creates an impenetrable minefield for attackers attempting unauthorized lateral movement or credential harvesting.

The platform operates by projecting illusory breadcrumbs, deceptive credentials, fake file shares, and decoys that mimic real corporate operating systems, applications, and database servers. Because legitimate corporate users have no business purpose to interact with deceptive assets, any engagement with a decoy generates an immediate, high-fidelity security alert with virtually zero false positives. Key technical capabilities include automated decoy deployment and management, Active Directory defense that feeds deceptive query responses to unauthorized reconnaissance tools (such as BloodHound), real-time attacker session tracking, and automated host isolation.

Attivo ThreatDefend integrates natively with SentinelOne Singularity Platform, Microsoft Active Directory, Splunk, IBM QRadar, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco security infrastructure. Primary enterprise use cases include detecting advanced persistent threat (APT) lateral movement, identifying credential harvesting attempts on endpoints, protecting legacy unpatchable IoT and medical devices, and accelerating incident response workflows. Organizations deploying Attivo ThreatDefend drastically increase adversary dwell friction, shorten mean time to detect, and fulfill compliance requirements under NIST SP 800-53 and ISO/IEC 27001.
