Darktrace is an AI-native cybersecurity company delivering the Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform to help organizations improve cyber resilience across network, email, cloud, identities, OT, endpoints, and emerging AI use cases. Its approach centers on Self-Learning AI that models the normal behavior of each customer’s environment rather than relying only on historical attack data, enabling real-time detection, investigation, and autonomous response to known and novel threats.
The company combines preventive exposure management, live threat detection, AI-led investigation, and response workflows within a unified operating model. Darktrace also extends the platform with managed and expert services, giving security teams additional 24/7 support for triage, investigation, and incident handling across complex hybrid environments.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Darktrace’s offerings span preemptive risk reduction, continuous monitoring, automated investigation, and proportionate response across the digital estate. The platform correlates activity across communications, users, devices, cloud resources, SaaS applications, and industrial systems to help teams understand attack paths, prioritize material exposures, and act faster during active incidents.
Darktrace supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments and connects with major enterprise ecosystems such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google. Its integration model extends into identity, endpoint, SIEM, SOAR, collaboration, and cloud tooling so customers can enrich detections, operationalize investigations, and coordinate response actions alongside existing security investments. Darktrace also provides follow-the-sun SOC support through managed and expert service offerings.
