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.

Darktrace Named ‘Best Security Technology’ at the Techies 2016
Darktrace Named ‘Best Security Technology’ at the Techies 2016
Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has won the ‘Best Security Technology of the Year’ award at The Techies 2016. The award was presented to Darktrace during an awards ceremony held in London last night.
The Techies are Techworld’s inaugural awards celebrating UK technology innovation and digital disruption. Techworld’s expert judges emphasised the particular importance of the ‘Best Security Technology’ award, given the escalating issue of cyber attacks on organisations worldwide.
Darktrace is the first company in the world to arm defenders with proven machine learning and mathematics, developed by specialists from the University of Cambridge, that detects emerging cyber-threats, without any prior knowledge of attacks, rules or signatures. The business now has over 750 installations worldwide and has already discovered over 5,500 significant cyber incidents in customer networks.
“We are delighted to see the fundamental innovation of our ‘immune system’ technology recognized by The Techies,” said Nicole Eagan, CEO of Darktrace. “We are at the beginning of a new era in cyber security. Today, organisations have to assume that they will be compromised. The Enterprise Immune System is the only technology that addresses this complex threat landscape, using self-learning technology to understand an organsation’s pattern of life, and identify abnormal behaviours that go unnoticed by legacy technologies.”
