What happened
On Sept 29, 2026 Acalvio launched the ShadowPlex AI Agent in the Gemini Enterprise Agent Marketplace: security teams describe an objective in natural language and the agent autonomously generates a ready-to-deploy deception strategy/playbook — for disrupting AI-driven reconnaissance, detecting credential abuse, lateral movement, and protecting enterprise AI agents/infrastructure — deployable through the ShadowPlex platform.
Why it matters
It converts deception engineering from a specialist skill into an AI-driven workflow operating in Google's enterprise agent marketplace, and it explicitly targets defending AI infrastructure itself — a differentiator in the deception/agentic defense space.
Applicability
Organizations already using Acalvio ShadowPlex or Gemini Enterprise interested in automated deception should pilot the agent to see if natural-language playbook generation yields deployable, correct deception configs for their AI estate.
