Adaptive AI:
Our proprietary AI technology
Darktrace applies a unique combination of AI techniques to build a continuously evolving understanding of your organization, helping security teams see activity in context, uncover threats others miss, and respond with speed and precision across AI, users, and infrastructure.
Evolving threats, static defenses
As cyber-criminals begin to harness offensive AI to craft more sophisticated and targeted attacks at scale, defenders face new challenges:
Multi-stage phishing attacks that leverage trusted cloud services or QR codes to deliver payloads
Novel and ever-evolving ransomware strains that evade Threat Intelligence, signature-based and rules-based approaches
Attacks that target organizations through cloud misconfigurations or zero-day vulnerabilities
Not all AI is created equal
Most AI security solutions rely on historical patterns and predefined models, performing best when threats resemble something already observed. As attacks evolve, they struggle to recognize activity that doesn't match known patterns.
Novel is the new normal
Attackers are now using AI to generate new attack techniques faster than ever before. The pace of innovation is making threats more dynamic, scalable, and difficult to predict. This renders traditional security models ineffective, and defenders need AI that can keep pace.
Adaptive AI
Rather than learning from previously encountered attacks, Darktrace applies a unique combination of AI techniques, including anomaly detection, probabilistic reasoning, graph analysis, and LLMs, to continuously learn how your organization operates.
Achieve real security outcomes
By building an evolving understanding of behaviors, relationships, and operational patterns, Darktrace can identify meaningful deviations, uncover emerging risks, and detect novel threats that other security tools often miss.
