This blog details how Darktrace leveraged its anomaly-based detection to successfully identify an ongoing ransomware attack on the network of a customer, as well as the activity that preceded it.

Read Darktrace's expert insights from Black Hat 2023. Takeaways include AI developments, integrations, and the impact of human behavior on cybersecurity.

This blog details a malicious actor’s attempt to abuse a customer’s administrative credentials in order to further their compromise on the network. Thanks to its anomaly-based approach to threat detection, Darktrace was the only solution in the customer’s stack to identify and contain the attack.

Explore how Darktrace addresses the challenge of vulnerability prioritization through the context gained from a deep understanding of the bespoke organization.

When it comes to responding to an incident, bad timing wastes resources. And traditional incident response strategies make it very hard to get the timing right. With Darktrace HEAL, organizations can now identify and address critical events faster and more efficiently to save security teams time, money, and effort.

Learn how Darktrace leveraged generative AI tools to detect and combat phishing email campaigns. Discover how AI is reshaping cybersecurity strategies.

This blog discusses how insider threats pose a security risk specifically to OT systems, what the challenges are dealing with insider threats, and potential solutions for mitigating insider threats.

Discover the emerging trend of malicious actors abusing the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) file storage protocol in phishing campaigns. Learn more here!

This blog details how Darktrace detected a case of Business Email Compromise (BEC) on a customer network. Darktrace’s SOC was able to alert the customer to the ongoing compromise within their SaaS environment, thwarting the attack in its tracks.

This Darktrace long read investigates how psychological research into the nature of trust relates to our relationship with technology. Because the brain is wired to implicitly trust the devices it uses everyday, humans cannot be relied upon to identify anomalies such as phishing emails. Email security driven by machine augmentation, such as AI anomaly detection, is the clearest solution to tackle that challenge.

This blog takes a renewed look at the latest campaign activity linked with the notorious Outlaw crypto-mining operation. It discusses Darktrace’s investigation into recent cases of Outlaw, detailing the re-appearance of previously observed tactics, while also discussing the emergence of new ones.
