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.

Darktrace Wins National Technology Award

May 18, 2017

Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has today announced that it has been named the winner of the highly coveted ‘Security Innovation of the Year’ award at the inaugural National Technology Awards in London last night.

The National Technology Awards celebrate the pioneers of new technology, helping to drive standards and encourage excellence. An independent panel of judges, including members from techUK and Deloitte, selected Darktrace’s disruptive AI technology for cyber defense as the best security innovation of the year.

As the old approach of using rules and signatures to stop threats at the borders falls short in the face of increasingly stealthy and sophisticated attacks, human security teams are consistently outstripped in their capacity to contain breaches before they have inflicted damage.

Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System leverages transformative machine learning and AI technology capable of detecting and fighting back the earliest signs of brazen, fast-spreading attacks. Modeled after the human immune system, the break-through technology self-learns the normal ‘pattern of life’ within a network and uses that understanding to spot threatening anomalies. In the event of a breach, the automatic response technology takes proportionate remedial action akin to sending ‘digital antibodies’, containing the infiltration before it has escalated into a crisis.

We are delighted to receive this prestigious recognition,” commented Poppy Gustafsson, CEO EMEA at Darktrace. “Being named ‘Security Innovation of the Year’ at the National Technology Awards is yet another tribute to the fundamental power and innovation behind the Enterprise Immune System. Our self-learning technology is a true manifestation of the power of AI to transform cyber security. Darktrace empowers organizations to stay ahead of pernicious, fast-paced attacks that routinely bypass traditional defenses.”
