Darktrace Managed Detection & Response for Critical Infrastructure
Learn how Darktraces supports critical infrastructure with Managed Detection & Response
Built for critical infrastructure organizations managing converged IT and OT environments, this guide explores how 24/7 MDR, AI-led investigations, and OT-specific visibility help security teams detect, investigate, and contain threats faster without disrupting operations.

Strengthening OT cyber resilience with MDR
Critical infrastructure environments face a different class of cybersecurity challenge. Industrial systems often operate with limited downtime tolerance, long patching cycles, and complex interdependencies across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud infrastructure. At the same time, security teams are under pressure to detect and respond to threats faster, often without the specialist OT expertise or 24/7 coverage needed to investigate incidents effectively.
This datasheet explores how managed detection and response can help organizations extend cyber resilience across converged IT and OT environments without disrupting operations. It outlines how AI-led threat detection, behavioral monitoring, and expert-led SOC support can improve visibility into industrial systems, accelerate investigations, and help contain threats before they spread deeper into operational environments.
Readers will also learn how OT-aware MDR services can support operational continuity while helping security teams address challenges such as ransomware spillover, remote access compromise, insider threats, and zero-day activity across industrial infrastructure.
