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.

Ballintrae Partners with Darktrace for Cyber Defense
Ballintrae today announces a partnership agreement with Darktrace, the pioneering cyber-security business formed by world-class Cambridge mathematicians and former executives of UK cyber defence intelligence services. Both external and internal cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex. Many attacks are now designed to hide and evolve within a system, and financial services companies face the risk of not only data loss but also damage to data integrity.
The partnership will enhance Ballintrae's ability to help its many financial services clients maintain a significant edge in their battle against such threats. Darktrace's unique and ground-breaking Enterprise Immune System technology is gaining broad and swift recognition in cyber security circles. The technology offers the differentiated capability to identify network and security threats before they cause damage to the enterprise.
Steve Street of Ballintrae said, "Ever increasing amounts of time and money are being spent on IT security in order to better protect networks and data from being compromised. As technology advances, threats have also become more sophisticated. Historically, enterprises have fought this constant battle from a defensive position, responding to new attacks after they have been identified. This approach meant that threats were able to adversely impact systems, data integrity, compliance positioning and brand before action was taken. Darktrace Cyber Intelligence Platform enables organisations to get ahead of this evolving threat curve through behavioural analysis. The solution allows identification and mitigation of emerging threats as they begin to manifest themselves within the network. Our partnership will place our clients in the position to address risks before major damage is done."
Andrew France, CEO of Darktrace said, "Darktrace brings a fundamentally new approach to the cyber challenge, based on best-in-class machine learning and mathematics developed at the University of Cambridge. Our mission is to enable clients to identify, mitigate and remove risk both in real time and ahead of time. I've no doubt that our partnership with Ballintrae, a highly respected IT security and services consultancy in the financial services market, will accelerate adoption of our Enterprise Immune System technology within the community. We look forward to a long and successful business relationship."
