AmiViz has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Acalvio to deliver preemptive cybersecurity capabilities, including deception technology and agentic AI security, across the Middle East. The collaboration aims to help enterprises detect and stop advanced threats early, as cyberattacks become faster, more automated, and increasingly AI-driven.
Traditional security tools, often reliant on reactive alerts and known threat signatures, are proving inadequate against modern, sophisticated intrusions. In response, organizations are shifting toward proactive security models that can expose malicious intent at the earliest stages of compromise.
Acalvio’s autonomous deception platform addresses this need by deploying distributed decoys, lures, and high-fidelity telemetry to detect lateral movement, identity misuse, and stealth intrusions with minimal false positives. This approach enables organizations to identify threats before attackers can escalate their activities.
“Pre-emptive defence has become essential as attackers move faster and AI reshapes the threat landscape. This partnership brings the ability to detect threats at their earliest stage, before they become breaches.” — Ilyas Mohammed, COO, AmiViz
The partnership also comes at a critical time as enterprises begin integrating agentic AI systems into their operations. These autonomous systems introduce new behavioral patterns and expand the attack surface in unpredictable ways. Deception-based detection offers an additional layer of security by identifying anomalous behavior whether from human attackers or AI-driven processes early in the attack lifecycle.
AmiViz will collaborate closely with Acalvio to support regional partners and customers through training, enablement, and deployment services. The joint effort will target key sectors such as government, finance, energy, telecommunications, and large enterprises.
According to Acalvio, its platform has been consistently recognized for its leadership in deception technology, offering high-accuracy detection, flexible deployment across hybrid environments, and deep integration with security ecosystems including SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms. The company is also focusing on addressing emerging threats driven by AI-orchestrated attacks.
This partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward proactive, intelligence-led cybersecurity strategies, where early detection and deception play a critical role in mitigating increasingly complex and automated threat landscapes.
