Read our second Darktrace Discourse paper, authored by John C. Allen, MBA, CRISC, and VP Cyber Risk & Compliance, Darktrace. This paper reviews the current state of incident recovery and sets forth seven areas of innovation to improve Recovery from cyber incidents, based on a core capability: Real-Time Adaptive Incident Response.

This paper outlines Darktrace's Attack Path modeling (APM) capabilities, exploring how real-time, automated, dual-aspect, multi-data-source, end-to-end APM can be used to give blue teams a comprehensive view of realistic, risk-prioritized attack paths so that resources can be best allocated to defend key assets.

Read our Darktrace Discourse paper, authored by one of our researchers based at the Centre. The author has seven years’ experience in the automation of complex cyber-centric processes with specialization in the offensive domain, and holds a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Cambridge. To close these gaps, the security industry must rethink how adversarial assessments are conducted. Automating certain aspects of red teaming could help organizations reduce costs and scale their efforts without compromising effectiveness. However, automation is no simple task—cyber adversaries continuously evolve, requiring human expertise to research and develop new attack simulations. This paper explores potential approaches to automating adversarial testing while addressing the psychological barriers that prevent broader adoption. By embracing the mindset of an attacker, organizations can strengthen their defenses and proactively mitigate risks before real-world threats strike.
