AI-powered cybersecurity platform Darktrace has launched its PREVENT product, which is an interconnected set of AI products that deliver proactive cybersecurity capability to help organisations preempt future cyberattacks.
It claims PREVENT is the third product area in Darktrace’s delivery of a Cyber AI Loop and the industry-first set of AI capabilities which work together autonomously to optimise an organisation’s state of security through a continuous feedback loop.
The tool uses AI to ‘think like an attacker’ finding pathways to an organisation’s most critical assets from inside and outside. Darktrace claims the AI continuously analyses the most disruptive attacks for an organisation and feeds that information back into DETECT and RESPOND to support continuous learning and automation to harden systems.
Several organisations in the US, UK and Northern Europe have already adopted the technology, including City of Las Vegas and Sedgwick.
Darktrace CEO Poppy Gustafsson OBE said, “Organisations don’t have bottomless budgets and security teams don’t have endless time. By helping human teams to get a much better picture of their security vulnerabilities and by prioritising the areas that need hardening first so they can protect their most critical assets, we hope we can help our customers to free themselves of cyber disruption.
“I’m so excited about today’s launch of our PREVENT products, which is a major milestone for Darktrace and brings us one step closer to fulfilling our vision of a Cyber AI Loop.”
In a recent study by Darktrace, it found that high-priority attempts to breach customer systems increased by 49% globally between January and June 2022. During this same time period, Darktrace saw a 138% increase in attempted cyberattacks targeting customers in government-related sectors globally.
Earlier in the year, Darktrace acquired attack surface management Cybersprint for €47.5m.
