PRESS RELEASE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Darktrace, a global leader in <\/span>cybersecurity AI<\/a><\/span>, today announces the launch of its new service offering, Darktrace Managed Detection & Response (MDR). The service combines its best-in-class detection and response capabilities spanning across the enterprise, with the expertise of its global analyst team. This powerful combination augments internal security teams with AI-powered threat containment and expert alert management across Darktrace environments, allowing them to focus resources on more strategic security efforts, like improving cyber resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over 40% of security leaders cite enhancing and optimizing technology and processes in the security operations center (SOC) as a top priority for improving defenses against <\/span>the rise of AI powered threats<\/a><\/span> according to the <\/span>Darktrace State of AI Cybersecurity 2024 report<\/a><\/span>. As a leader in applying AI to the challenge of cybersecurity, Darktrace has transformed security operations for thousands of customers for more than a decade. Building upon this expertise Darktrace introduced its MDR service in March 2024, empowering customers to maximize the benefits of effective human-AI collaboration. The service offers customers expanded hands-on analyst support with 24\/7 managed detection and response, featuring SOC investigation and action on Darktrace alerts, across network, cloud, <\/span>operational technology (OT)<\/a><\/span>, endpoints and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

With MDR, Darktrace\u2019s SOC team will monitor customer environments for high priority alerts indicative of an attack, conduct investigations to alert customers of potentially severe incidents and begin initial triage with human engagement on the AI\u2019s actions. The SOC will carefully review the response measures the autonomous AI has taken and subsequently take proactive steps on behalf of the customer to contain threats, which may include extending or escalating response actions. By doing so, the SOC buys valuable time for internal teams to prepare for engagement while also gathering essential context for effective remediation efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darktrace\u2019s existing global SOC team comprised of 100+ world-class cybersecurity analysts support the service, offering a breadth of real-time knowledge, threat analysis and containment expertise, and extensive field experience. Darktrace\u2019s SOC offers 24\/7 support, utilizing a follow-the-sun model with operations headquartered in the United Kingdom, United States and Singapore, to ensure analysts are available and ready to support around-the-clock.<\/span><\/p>\n

The service builds upon Darktrace\u2019s leadership and expertise with best-in-class <\/span>detection<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>response<\/a><\/span> capabilities. The <\/span>Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform<\/a><\/span> utilizes its unique self-learning AI engine to detect known, unknown, and novel threats in real-time and provide an autonomous response to contain active threats without disrupting business operations. However, high-priority threats often require humans to engage and make decisions following the initial containment. Darktrace Managed Detection & Response now enables the Darktrace SOC to immediately step in, conduct the initial triage, and gather context for internal teams, buying them added time to coordinate an effective response to remove the threat. Additional features and benefits of Darktrace Managed Detection & Response include:<\/span><\/p>\n
