CAMBRIDGE, England, May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Darktrace, a leading autonomous cyber security AI company, today announced that it has joined forces with software giant Microsoft. The partnership provides mutual customers with enterprise scale, self-learning AI that detects and autonomously responds to cyber-threats.
This collaboration amplifies Darktrace s self-learning artificial intelligence for cyber security within Microsoft environments, including Microsoft 365 and cloud applications like Azure Sentinel. As organizations and workforces across the globe increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure and virtual collaboration tools, the partnership ensures that attacks can be thwarted by Microsoft s solutions together with Darktrace s Autonomous Cyber AI technology.
Darktrace director of Email Security Products, Dan Feinat, warned that the AI startup witnesses “attackers impersonate CEOs or compromise vendors’ accounts to send out targeted, topical emails that look legitimate” on a daily basis.
“As these attacks get more sophisticated, employee education and awareness are not enough. The answer lies in technology. With a dynamic understanding of the business, Cyber AI detects subtle indicators of attack and stops novel threats on the first encounter. This capability is crucial in an era where it is impossible to predict where the next attack will come from or what it will look like.”
