Hybrid networks have outgrown traditional security

Modern hybrid networks span on-premises infrastructure, cloud, SaaS, OT, identities, AI agents, and remote users. As these environments interconnect, AI is accelerating the challenge: attackers automate reconnaissance, adapt in real time, and move faster across hybrid environments than security teams can track manually. With more than 40% of ransomware attacks now involving a hybrid component (Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2025), cross-domain attacks are today's reality, not an emerging trend.

Why behavioral visibility beats static rules

Darktrace / HYBRID NETWORK uses Adaptive AI to learn each organization's environment from the ground up, building an evolving understanding of normal behavior across networks, cloud, OT, identities, and endpoints — instead of relying on static rules, signatures, or globally trained models. That continuous behavioral model is what powers results like:

• 8 days average containment of zero-day threats before public disclosure
• 10x faster incident analysis, enabled by AI-driven triage and investigation
• 99% reduction in alert noise compared with traditional NDR solutions

The result is continuous visibility, autonomous response, and AI-led investigations that help security teams move from reactive defense to proactive resilience — without disrupting the business.

What you'll learn

This brief covers how Darktrace / HYBRID NETWORK delivers complete visibility across on-premises, virtual, multi-cloud, OT, identities, endpoints, SaaS, and ZTNA through one customer-specific behavioral model; detects known, unknown, and insider threats in real time by analyzing both encrypted and decrypted traffic; autonomously contains fast-moving, AI-accelerated threats natively or via third-party integrations, fully configurable to your environment; and uses AI-led investigation to correlate related activity across your hybrid infrastructure into a single incident, deepened by host and workload context. You'll also see how packaging scales from Core through Advanced to Complete, and hear how one customer transformed their SOC into a proactive defense force without adding new tools or headcount.
