Connex Information Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., announces its partnership with Deception Technology vendor Acalvio.

Given the current economic, and technological landscape in Sri Lanka, more large enterprises have been confronted with attacks on their IT infrastructure, and assets.

Since the beginning of time, deception has been used in nature, and warfare as a powerful defense mechanism. Deception is a very useful, and effective tactic to detect, and evade threats in many situations. The modern cybersecurity situation is one such example.
