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 AI Guards Natural History Museum
Darktrace, the world’s leading AI company for cyber defense, has today announced that The Natural History Museum (NHM), one of the world’s most visited museums, has deployed Darktrace’s AI technology to defend critical research from sophisticated cyber-attacks.
Over 4.5 million people visited NHM in 2018, each one a potential unknown threat. Tasked with defending this dynamic digital environment, the museum’s security team oversees everything from the guest Wi-Fi to virtual reality exhibits. Adding to the challenge, NHM is recognized as the world’s pre-eminent centre of natural history research. By using Darktrace to not only detect but fight back against attacks in real time, the museum is now able to autonomously respond to stealthy attacks on its highly sensitive intellectual property.
Ian Golding, Interim CIO at the Natural History Museum commented: “As the museum continues to protect, display and digitise its unique collection, ensuring we have suitable cyber protection is of paramount importance.” He continued “with digital records of unrivalled research, tackling issues like food security, eradicating diseases and managing resource scarcity, a successful cyber-attack on the museum could have global ramifications. By leveraging autonomous response, Darktrace’s advanced AI is helping to safeguard the museum’s most valued assets.”
