Statement regarding LockBit claims

Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.

Avancial Enhances Cybersecurity with Darktrace AI

February 28, 2017

Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has today announced that Avancial, a wholly owned subsidiary of France’s national rail company, SNCF, has deployed its self-learning technology for cyber defense. Powered by AI algorithms that self-learn what is ‘normal’ for a network, the Enterprise Immune System can detect and respond to anomalies without any prior knowledge or human intervention.

Avancial oversees software development and application support for SNCF. Following a thorough review of the cyber security market, Avancial selected Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System to gain full visibility into its network and identify cyber-threats at their nascent stages, before they escalate into crises.

Traditional security tools are simply not sufficient to defend our network against today’s sophisticated cyber-threats,” said Alain Charpentier, CISO, Avancial. “With its self-learning technology that requires no training data sets or manual configuration, Darktrace is capable of uncovering ‘unknown unknowns’ and alerting us to abnormal behavior in real time. Instead of being inundated with false positives, our security team now benefits from automatic alerts about genuinely threatening behavior, allowing us to react swiftly and stop any attacks in their tracks.”
We are delighted that Avancial has joined the steadily growing number of companies across all industries in France that have deployed the Enterprise Immune System,” said Emmanuel Meriot, Country Manager, France and Spain, Darktrace. “As cyber security has increasingly become an arms race, forward-thinking companies like Avancial turn to Darktrace as the only proven application of unsupervised machine learning that automates the process of detecting and responding to threats automatically and in real time.”
