Cybersecurity is one of the top challenges of our digital age. It\u2019s not uncommon to read reports on security incidents, spanning all types of industries in all parts of the globe. And while security measures are constantly evolving, so too are attack techniques, exposing organisations to serious, and costly, compromise.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second of our four-blog series, we’ll see how prevention is truly the best defence. And as organisations continue to transition to the cloud, independent software vendors have been instrumental in building innovative cyber security solutions that appeal to customers in the fast-paced world of digital transformation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Darktrace<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Darktrace, one of TIME magazine’s \u201cMost Influential Companies\u201d in 2021, is one such vendor. Currently protecting nearly 8,900 organisations around the world, including Royal Caribbean, City of Las Vegas, and McLaren, Darktrace works with companies of all sizes and in all verticals \u2013 from enterprises to governments, or small and medium businesses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darktrace AI is designed to work with your security team across the entire attack lifecycle, providing clear analysis and context in ordinary language to drive understanding and efficiency. The solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Azure Sentinel and hosts its email service on Azure.

On a mission to mitigate cyber-disruption  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a global leader in cyber security AI, Darktrace is on a mission to tackle and minimise cyber-disruption. Breakthrough innovations in their Cambridge-based Cyber AI Research Centre have resulted in over 160 patents filed and research published to contribute to the cybersecurity community. That\u2019s great news for stretched security teams, who are struggling with increasingly complex digital systems and an escalating threat landscape \u2013 from fending off ransomware attacks and data leaks, through to phishing and supply chain attacks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Darktrace research found that traditional email security tools, which rely on knowledge of past threats, take an average of 13 days from the launch of an attack to detection of it.

Darktrace has tackled the challenges of traditional cyber security efforts by turning the entire approach on its head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to threats by knowing you<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rather than study attacks, Darktrace’s technology continuously learns and updates its knowledge of your business. Its distinction lies in the algorithms and data it uses, and how the two interact. Instead of training an AI on historical attacks \u2013 an approach that requires constant updating and maintenance \u2013 Darktrace takes their \u201cSelf-Learning AI\u201d to your data. It\u2019s plugged into your enterprise and learns in real time from everything that happens in your digital world \u2013 including email, cloud environments, manufacturing and operational systems, and physical locations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this, the AI builds up a sense of \u201cnormal\u201d for your organisation. This allows it to identify unusual patterns that indicate a cyber-threat \u2013 and then take targeted action to contain emerging attacks.\u202f\u202fIt then applies that understanding to optimise your unique state of cybersecurity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In effect, Darktrace is fuelling a continuous end-to-end security capability that can spot and respond to novel in-progress threats within seconds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, that translates to increased threat detection accuracy and time savings \u2013 freeing you up to focus on what matters most: running your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bespoke solutions that build confidence <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Dan Fein, Director of Product at Darktrace, \u201cCyber-criminals will do whatever it takes. Daily, we see attackers impersonate CEOs or compromise vendors\u2019 accounts to send out targeted, topical emails that look legitimate. Our security products align perfectly with Microsoft\u2019s, allowing us to build even greater confidence among our mutual customers that their business, data and staff are protected.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could that mean for your business? With Darktrace, you\u2019ll be equipped to:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
