Darktrace Extends Autonomous Response to Enforce Normal Behavior on Endpoints
PR94291
CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- AI Augments Security Teams as Flexible Work Arrangements and the 'Great
Resignation' Inadvertently Increase Cyber Risk
Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, today announced that its
Autonomous Response technology now takes action on the endpoint – rounding out
the Darktrace Antigena product family, which already includes coverage for SaaS
applications, cloud, email, network, and Operational Technology (OT).
Endpoints have moved farther outside traditional infrastructure and have
started housing even more sensitive data. As a result, CISOs and security
professionals have been left grappling with the complexities of protecting
their organizations and dynamic workers in the wake of flexible work
arrangements and the dawn of the 'Great Resignation'.
A novel approach to this challenge could be to augment security teams with AI
that learns on the job how this flexible, dynamic workforce is working.
Irregularity of endpoint activity can be continuously re-evaluated, and subtle,
indiscernible actions can be taken that allow productive work to continue while
stopping only threatening activity.
Antigena Endpoint does just that. It detects anomalous activity and
intelligently makes micro-decisions based on unusual activity, such as
out-of-the-ordinary initial file downloads and data exfiltration attempts,
command and control traffic or lateral movement that might represent a
cyber-threat. It uses various techniques to interrupt attacks on Mac, Windows,
and Linux devices, including data leaks, ransomware and insider threats.
Contextual awareness gained from other parts of the digital estate is also
beneficial in stopping endpoint attacks. For example, in the case of Antigena
Email and Antigena Endpoint deployed together, the precision of response is
enhanced by the more nuanced understanding of new and expected senders across
all endpoint and email activity. A brand-new sender soliciting an employee into
making a bank transaction on its own might warrant action. But, with the added
information that the website has no prior relevancy to the organization, the
increased context would solidify the case and alter the system's response.
"Antigena Endpoint is the evolution of Darktrace's platform that I have
anticipated and been excited about most. It truly is a game-changer and gets
straight to the heart of what our customers need right now," said Mike Beck,
Darktrace's Global Chief Information Security Officer. "The reassurance that
Darktrace can not only detect the early signs of attacks but now also take
action on all employee endpoints is more important than ever before."
