See how Darktrace works with Microsoft

One partnership. Three areas of protection.

The Darktrace Behavioral Defense Platform applies Adaptive AI across AI, people and infrastructure, helping organizations understand behavior in context and respond when risk emerges.

Darktrace / SECURE AI

Secure AI from prompt to agent runtime.

Extend Microsoft’s AI, identity and governance capabilities with behavioral context across prompts, users, agents and Shadow AI.

‍

  • Understand supported Microsoft 365 Copilot prompts, sessions and responses in context
  • Connect Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry development activity with runtime agent behavior
  • Add behavioral risk signals across Microsoft Entra, Agent 365 and supported Shadow AI activity

Outcome: Scale AI adoption with greater visibility, context and confidence.

"Darktrace / SECURE AI showed us that AI was already helping people work more effectively across the business, and that insight changed our approach."

David Green

Senior Vice President of IT | Lamons

Darktrace / HYBRID NETWORK

See the attack as it moves across domains.

Complement Microsoft email, collaboration and data-protection capabilities with behavioral context around how people actually communicate and interact.

‍

  • Extend Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with behavioral context for novel phishing, BEC and account compromise
  • Surface unusual activity across supported Microsoft Teams interactions
  • Bring Darktrace email-security context into Microsoft Purview and Security Copilot workflows

Outcome: Protect trusted communication and collaboration without slowing how people work.

Darktrace / EMAIL

Stop threats that look legitimate.

Extend behavioral detection and investigation across Microsoft Azure and the wider hybrid environment.
‍

  • Combine Microsoft Defender for Endpoint context with behavior across network and infrastructure
  • Bring Darktrace incidents and investigation context into Microsoft Sentinel
  • Connect activity across cloud, identity, network, endpoint and OT to understand cross-domain threats

Outcome: Secure the infrastructure AI and the business depend on with faster detection, investigation and response.

Wherever you are in your Microsoft journey

Building on Microsoft 365 and E5

Strengthen the Microsoft investments you already have. Add behavioral context to existing Microsoft controls while gaining visibility into emerging AI use.

Expanding Copilot and enterprise AI

Extend security as AI adoption grows. As AI becomes embedded across more users, applications and workflows, Darktrace helps teams understand emerging risk and keep adoption aligned with expected behavior.

Moving toward E7 and more autonomous agents

Add behavioral context as agents gain autonomy. As agents gain identities, permissions and greater ability to act, Darktrace helps teams understand runtime behavior and identify activity that no longer aligns with intended purpose.

"We can now shape policy around real behavior, protecting company data while giving employees room to use AI productively."

David Green

Senior Vice President of IT | Lamons

Session highlights

Darktrace experts are taking the stage across the Tour. Wherever you join us, the session is the same starting point: what behavioral security means in practice when AI is already in production.

Meet us at the booth

Meet the Demands of the AI Era with Behavioral Security

AI is unlocking immense business potential, yet traditional security approaches lack the context to manage risk in increasingly autonomous and interconnected AI environments. Discover how behavioral security helps safeguard AI, people, and infrastructure with confidence at scale.

  • Where traditional controls run out of context in autonomous AI environments

  • How continuous behavioral monitoring works across AI, people and infrastructure

  • What good looks like when you are scaling AI adoption rather than slowing it down

Session times and rooms vary by city. Check your city page for local details.

Our Speakers

Our speakers change from city to city — you will hear from the regional security leaders, field CISOs and AI and threat research specialists who work on behavioral security every day, and who know the threat landscape in your region. Your city page has the local line-up.
