This blog discusses how Darktrace was able to identify the PurpleFox malware campaign, detecting its new tactics designed to avoid signature-based detection by leveraging mismatched filetypes, Powershell, and service control requests.

This blog discusses the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) announcement of funding for electric cooperatives, small investor-owned, and municipalities to be allocated to their cyber security posture.

This blog discusses how Darktrace was able to successfully detect and respond to several incidents of SectopRAT compromise across its customer base.

This blog post explains how Darktrace can be used throughout the entire threat hunting lifecycle - from data collection through to threat identification, response, and documentation.

This blog details how Darktrace was able to detect and respond to the remote access trojan, PlugX, across its customer base in early 2023. Despite its highly evasive and adaptive nature, Darktrace’s was able to successfully identify PlugX compromises and prevent them from escalating.

This blog discusses the plausible threat of malicious actors taking advantage of errors in generative AI tools, or AI “hallucinations”, to launch malicious packet attacks and how Darktrace’s suite of products might detect these attempts.

Many cloud security vendors purport to offer 'response' - but what do they really mean? What does meaningful response to cloud-related cyber-threats look like, and how is this achieved? This blog reveals all.

This blog details how Darktrace DETECT identified a banking trojan known to target organizations in Brazil before it was able to steal any sensitive customer data. Following the initial detection, Darktrace’s global SOC were able to investigate the incident and inform the customer for swift mitigation.

This blog explores Darktrace’s detection of and response to ViperSoftX malware across its customer fleet, despite its use of sophisticated techniques to evade detection.

This blog discusses how Darktrace was able to identify an ongoing case of SaaS account takeover which led to a subsequent phishing campaign, within days of being deployed on a prospective customer’s network.

This blog discusses the emergence of Black Basta, a relatively new ransomware group that was first observed in early 2022. In April 2023, Darktrace detected a case of Black Basta on the customer network and was able to track the ransomware at every stage of the cyber kill chain.

Humans find it hard to function logically during a crisis, particularly in cyber security where the variables are fast-moving. This blog looks at how AI can help human security teams overcome cognitive biases and manage cyber incidents more effectively.

This blog investigates the novel Akira ransomware strain, that was first observed in the wild in March 2023, and explores how Darktrace is uniquely placed to identify and contain such ransomware attacks.

Darktrace's first comprehensive report on the threats faced by businesses examines the trends our threat team saw in the first half of 2013.

This blog explores how Darktrace/OT aligns with FERC Order 887 requirements. Darktrace employs anomaly-based detection to uncover insider threats and supply chain attacks within CIP networked environments, all without relying on external connectivity.

This blog investigates the emergence of Lumma Stealer, an information stealer that has recently been observed across the Darktrace fleet. Darktrace’s Self-Learning AI enabled customers to quickly identify affected devices and mitigate the compromise.

At Darktrace, we saw that AI could address an existential threat – defending people, businesses and nations from a world of constantly evolving threats. This threat is only poised to grow as AI is increasingly used by attackers. That’s why we became one of the first to apply AI to cyber security and built a completely AI native technology platform aimed at freeing the world of cyber disruption.

By using HEAL, teams can test their incident response plans in realistic scenarios and identify gaps in their security tools or processes to improve their overall cyber resilience.

In mid-April 2023, Darktrace observed two related clusters of attack chains across its customer base. Further investigation revealed these clusters of activity to be related to exploitation of a critical vulnerability in the print management system, PaperCut. This blog details the observed attack chains, and Darktrace’s coverage of the steps involved in them.

This blog details how Darktrace leveraged its anomaly-based detection to successfully identify an ongoing ransomware attack on the network of a customer, as well as the activity that preceded it.

This blog summarizes key themes that emerged from Black Hat USA 2023, including AI developments, integrations, and the human side of cyber security.

This blog details a malicious actor’s attempt to abuse a customer’s administrative credentials in order to further their compromise on the network. Thanks to its anomaly-based approach to threat detection, Darktrace was the only solution in the customer’s stack to identify and contain the attack.

Explore how Darktrace addresses the challenge of vulnerability prioritization through the context gained from a deep understanding of the bespoke organization.

When it comes to responding to an incident, bad timing wastes resources. And traditional incident response strategies make it very hard to get the timing right. With Darktrace HEAL, organizations can now identify and address critical events faster and more efficiently to save security teams time, money, and effort.

This blog discusses how Darktrace successfully identified a novel attack technique used by the Syssphinx threat group while deploying ransomware on a customer network.
