The Darktrace's Threat Visualizer leverage an enterprise immune system technology to detect and respond to network activity in a way that is intended for use by security operation centres, threat analysts, and network security experts. Business problems Darktrace helps us address; -
  • The Threat Visualizer employs the underlying AI models to dynamically detect threats that are actually abnormal in the increasingly complex threat landscape, enabling us at the SOC to concentrate attention and expertise where it is needed.

  • The Threat Visualizer gives us a visual representation of all network activity and connections—both internal and external—between all machines and users, allowing us to observe how the network is flowing.
  • It functions on a broad scale, highlighting various hazards and anomalies for the analyst's attention, and on a more specific one, enabling you to drill down.

We use Darktrace Antigena email to protect our employees from any threat that can arrive by email. Our email provides, does an initial filtering, but not enough to provide a good security solution. Antigena email provides machine speed to analyze and block if necessary, using AI.

Darktrace is one of the best solutions when it comes to monitor your network with an NDR. Extremely scalable and with a fantastic way of correlating network communications, this is one of the best solutions in the market. We use it not only to monitor our customer's infrastructures, but we also integrate it with several modules, giving the SoC Analysts great room for moving and responding.

We have been using Darktrace for Threat Detection, Network Visibility, Antigena features/PREVENT for automated responses and to be in compliance. It's AI and ML capabilities to continuously monitor network traffic and user behavior are exceptional. It gives an in-depth visibility to our network. We have integrated it with Microsoft365 for Emails which helps detect phishing emails, malicious attachment blocking, spam filtering and malicious link blocking.

We are using Darktrace to identify possible issues caused by forbidden access and track suspicious activity. As this application is getting the traffic from the source, we're able to identify security issues that before we weren't able to. Also, we are integrating Darktrace with other Security/Monitoring tools like Splunk & Solarwinds.

We needed a better insight into network security threats that might be in our organization. DarkTrace provides an invaluable service of not only giving us the ability to dig deep into possible network intrusions but also has a weekly summary of possible network security issues. One of the main reasons we chose DarkTrace was that they provided the weekly report put together by a security professional. We review this weekly report and take action as needed.

I worked with Darktrace in a couple of organizations (from 300 to 1000+ users). Darktrace is a beneficial product to keep track of lateral network traffic inside of the organization. It augments the firewall, which looks at the traffic moving in and out of the company's LAN. Darktrace utilizes SPAN ports on switches to get the traffic, that's the only configuration needed outside of the Darktrace appliance, making installation relatively easy. If organization has multiple locations, either multiple Darktrace units will be required, or the network must be configured to forward SPAN traffic. Darktrace does provide beneficial insights into network activity inside the network, such as the use of obsolete protocols, DLP breaches, etc.

Darktrace is used across almost all of my organisation. It allows constant monitoring across all of our networks, and because it has the ability to learn "normal" behaviour for your network, it triggers alerts when it sees behaviour outside of this range. It's allowed thorough monitoring of our systems, 24/7. You can download packet captures, which can then be loaded in to wireshark, of traffic from devices on the network, and the data for these captures are held for some time as well - the exact time varies depending on the amount of traffic, but I've normally been able to retrieve traffic data from a few weeks previously when needed. There is also a mobile app that you can configure to allow monitoring of alerts on your phone. On a few occasions in the past, when something alerted that was potentially damaging to the network (such as a malware outbreak at one site), a Darktrace employee contacted me directly to let me know that there was something potentially high priority going on.

We use Darktrace in our main office. It helps us meet security assessment requirements of our clients that want to know how we know if there are bad actors in our environment.

Brought it in to act as an intelligence gatherer for network traffic - specifically to look for anomalies and help identify potential threats and suspicious activity. I installed it at the network core, so it was able to view all traffic (well, mostly all traffic - we had a few issues with some of the VLANs and my switches are configured for fault tolerance, which it also had an issue with) moving from inside to outside.
