Press Release
Statement regarding LockBit claims
Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.

Immune System Extends to Virtualized Environments with Darktrace vSensors
Immune System Extends to Virtualized Environments with Darktrace vSensors
Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has announced that it now works in virtualized environments, with the launch of Darktrace’s ‘vSensor’ virtual appliance.
Darktrace’s flagship Enterprise Immune System is powered by machine learning and mathematics developed at the University of Cambridge, and allows organizations to identify in-progress cyber-threats, including insider threat, in real time within the network. With the launch of Darktrace vSensors, this self-learning technology has now been extended to virtualized environments, increasing organizational visibility and enhancing the ability to detect subtle and long-running anomalous activity.
Darktrace’s vSensors are virtual appliances configured to receive a SPAN for the virtual network switch. Easily installed within a virtual machine, they allow for the intelligent capture of traffic between virtual machines (VMs), without a single packet being lost. Only relevant metadata is extracted, with 1% of raw network traffic ingested being sent to the master Darktrace appliance, for analysis.
Benefits:
- Easy to install
- Captures 100% of inter-VM traffic
- Extracts only relevant metadata
- Optimizes disk space by storing packet capture on a rolling basis
- Minimal impact on server performance
- Fully scalable
Darktrace vSensors are a critical capability for organizations with multiple virtual machines in owned hardware servers, and organizations with multiple remote locations. For the first time, it gives the Enterprise Immune System the ability to see data moving within these locations and strengthens Darktrace’s visibility of all digital interactions.
