Article Summary:
Darktrace has introduced the Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform™, which includes new innovations to enhance cybersecurity. The platform aims to shift security operations from reactive to proactive by identifying weaknesses in security controls and processes before they are exploited. Core features of the platform include the ability to visualize, correlate, and investigate security incidents across various domains.
The platform addresses the lack of cyber preparedness in the face of AI-augmented threats, with research showing that security professionals believe such threats are already impacting organizations. Darktrace’s State of AI Cybersecurity 2024 report found that defensive AI is seen as an effective counter to offensive AI, but many organizations are unprepared to defend against these evolving threats.
New features in the Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform include explainable, automated investigations for all alerts, decryption capabilities, and firewall rule analysis to preempt threats. Enhancements to Darktrace’s email and OT security solutions were also unveiled to stop early-stage phishing, enhance account takeover protection, and improve mail security.
The platform is designed to autonomously detect and respond to known, unknown, and novel threats in real-time, providing a comprehensive cybersecurity solution for organizations. Darktrace aims to help security teams move away from the reactive nature of cybersecurity to a more proactive state, ultimately improving cyber resilience and reducing the manual triage process.
