Acalvio Deception Guardrails: Securing Agentic AI at Runtime

Acalvio Deception Guardrails are Securing Agentic AI at Runtime

Acalvio Technologies has launched Deception Guardrails, a capability that embeds deceptive honeytokens, decoy MCP servers, and fake credentials into AI agent workflows to detect compromise before enterprise systems are impacted. As agentic AI deployments scale, traditional input/output guardrails leave a critical detection gap that deception technology is well positioned to fill. This note examines the product logic, the security risk context, and what it means for ITDMs and developers building production AI agent infrastructure.

Enterprise AI Data Readiness: Why Data, Not Models, Blocks ROI

Enterprise AI Data Readiness: Why Data, Not Models, Blocks ROI

An estimated 60–80% of enterprise AI initiatives never reach production. The bottleneck isn’t the model or the GPU. It’s fragmented, ungoverned data scattered across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. ECI Research analyzes what this means for ITDMs, developers, and vendors competing in the AI data platform market.
