Darktrace’s technology vision is a continuous, Cyber AI Loop™, where each capability autonomously feeds back into the system as a whole, continuously improving the state of cyber security.
Improving Awareness and Decision-Making
From the attacker's perspective, Darktrace PREVENT provides vital insights to defenders. Consequently, it enables them to identify existing devices that are externally facing or part of a critical attack path, enhancing their overall awareness of the environment.
Moreover, users benefit from contextual information about external facing assets and critical attack paths via tags in the DETECT and RESPOND user interface. This enables better decisions, quicker triage, and facilitates further modeling using this new information. For example, if PREVENT identifies a web server on a critical attack path, relevant entities receive tags in DETECT, providing crucial knowledge for detection modeling and AI Analyst investigations.
Incorporating Industry Standards for Faster Understanding
Darktrace incorporates the MITRE ATTACK Framework across the loop. Additionally, it tags devices identified by Darktrace PREVENT as sitting on a critical attack path with MITRE techniques corresponding to the inbound and outbound parts of the attack path. This provides automatic mapping to an industry-standard attack framework for auditing, compliance, and faster understanding of all components of the attack.
Richer AI Analyst Investigations
AI Analyst investigations become richer as they enrich existing investigations with malicious hostnames retrieved from PREVENT/ASM. Consequently, this indicates they are more likely to be suspicious and potentially part of an incident.
Heightening Email Security
Darktrace PREVENT/Attack Surface Management informs Darktrace/Email of potential threats, such as domain spoofing. This action heightens sensitivity around these assets and takes action when these spoof domains are used for malicious purposes. Hence, this leads to more accurate decision-making in the email realm, reducing analysis time for individual emails.
Consolidating Insights for Better Response
Assets confirmed as malicious by Darktrace PREVENT/Attack Surface Management automatically become ‘Watched Domains’ in Darktrace/Network. This enhancement enables security teams to consolidate insights from inside the business and externally on the attack surface in a single pane of glass, improving their ability to respond effectively.
