In network-related attack detection and response, Darktrace threat visualizer is your best solution. Self-containment and quarantine of suspicious network activities with highly detection rate.

Darktrace is a product well suited for the vast majority of infrastructures and helps monitoring and responding to threats based on the network in a very elastic way. This is a product based on on-premise infrastructures that hosts its machines locally, of course it can be technically difficult to monitor an entire On-Cloud infrastructure but even there there's room for sensors and monitoring, not to mention the SaaS and mail integration that completes the product.

  • It's best suited for network anamoly detection and prompt action via antigena for network
  • It's also best suited for Email security and malicious email detections
  • Since, the detections are AI based you may get some false positives from time to time
  • Right after implementation it's difficult to handle due to it's learning behavior
  • Requires some time to learn
  • It not the best for Intrusion prevention scenarios but does a great job for threat detections

Very easy to send mirroring traffic, very intuitive layout to configure the sensors, alerts & notifications. Require good experience in the platform in order to find & troubleshoot logs/incidents. There is not much documentation available on the Free Forum/Google searches. Good pre-sales support for the United Kingdom & Ireland clients, many kudos!

I would warn any IT manager against this system. It is frustrating. Support is very poor and slow. Changes do not get implemented. We are removing the system and looking elsewhere. Ask yourself, how smart is a system that simply uses your existing mail history to determine if it will accept the next email. The system has no ability for the users to identify false positives or train it. It places a lot of pressure on the helps desk. I question where the AI lies.

Recommend: for a company with limited security resources that needs a better look into possible network intrusions. Not suited for: a company that has a full SOC staff that has time and resources to dedicate to network security threats.

If organization has money to spend on Darktrace (licensing is based on the number of endpoints in the network) and has staff to sift through all the alerts the device creates, Darktrace does improve security significantly. You will see what is going on inside the network, in real-time, and in easy to understand manner. The problem is that there are a lot of things going on inside of any corporate network. The AI of the Darktrace appliance has a hard time reducing the number of events to look at to a reasonable level. Whoever is thinking about buying Darktrace must be ready to spend a lot of man-hours working with the product, clearing false positives and tweaking rules.

Darktrace would be well suited to any environment really; the only constraint would be the budget. The cost scales on the number of devices to be monitored by the product, so it can be quite expensive in larger environments. Any company that would benefit from having 24/7 monitoring of their network would find that this product would suit that need perfectly. It can also create a number of reports, which is useful if you have any requirement to present periodic figures and statistics for your network. There are also additional features available and in development such as Antigena, which can be configured to allow potential threats to be automatically mitigated; it can block connections to a certain address, using certain ports, or it can enforce "normal behaviour" where it will only allow a machine to communicate in a way that Darktrace has observed before and considers normal. This has huge benefits particularly for 24/7 organisations where you don't have the ability to have someone monitoring the network personally at all times, as it could stop a malware outbreak in its tracks.

It's excellent at using its AI engine to learn your environment when it first gets set up. Then over time it know what it has seen in the past and what it hasn't, so you can investigate what could be malicious traffic or not. It shouldn't be considered the end all, be all for networking monitoring, but just another tool to use.

In my opinion, based on what I saw, the product is not ready for prime time yet. The GUI interface was slick but very difficult to use. There was no reporting capability. There was no availability to integrate other products or share data easily. The people were very nice and easy to work with - but in my opinion, no one who worked on developing the product has spent any time on a day-to-day basis in the trenches. While I get the brain trust behind the product (and it is very, very impressive), there is still a disconnect between the developers and the end-users. For the cost of the product (quite expensive), the end user base is not going to be satisfied with the product, especially since I can get the same, and better, information from other products.
