A critical SAP vulnerability, CVE-2025-31324, allows unauthenticated remote code execution via NetWeaver Visual Composer. Despite early mitigation guidance, many systems remain exposed. Darktrace detected exploitation attempts six days before public disclosure, highlighting the importance of proactive, threat-agnostic detection.

ClickFix is a social engineering technique that exploits human error through fake prompts, leading users to unknowingly run malicious commands. Learn how Darktrace detects and responds to such threats!

Darktrace announces its Leader position in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Network Detection and Response (NDR).

Darktrace investigated “PumaBot,” a Go-based Linux botnet targeting IoT devices. It avoids internet-wide scanning, instead using a C2 server to get targets and brute-force SSH credentials. Once inside, it executes remote commands and ensures persistence.

To quickly identify and respond to threats before damage occurs, this local government relies on Darktrace to improve network visibility, stop insider threats, protect its email systems, and accelerate incident investigations.

Darktrace's AI-driven tools identified and disrupted AsyncRAT activity, detecting suspicious connections and blocking them autonomously. This proactive response prevented the compromise from escalating and safeguarded sensitive data from exfiltration.

This blog outlines Darktrace's model-based anomaly detection and how security teams can leverage custom models for targeted threat hunts. Recently, Darktrace's Threat Research team applied this method in their report, "AI & Cybersecurity: The State of Cyber in UK and US Energy Sectors."

In early 2025, Darktrace uncovered SocGholish-to-RansomHub intrusion chains, including loader and C2 activity, alongside credential harvesting via WebDAV and SCF abuse. Learn more about SocGholish and its kill chain here!
