The solution is a security cover for our on-premises solution to improve our security rating. Also, we want to protect our emails.
View full review »We were trying to justify Darktrace, and I was starting to do an analysis of the different solutions. We did a POC and haven't made a decision as to if we will use it or not.
We were just trying to validate their claims of AI-driven preventive network issues. They showed us a number of things, and we were able to show or verify that, yes, the things that they pointed out we were glad they caught. Nothing turned out to be a true intrusion, however, the stuff that they showed us were things that we were happy to see on our network. They discovered traffic on our network that was anomalous. We were just looking to see if they could point us to anomalous traffic, and they did.

We have a layered approach to our cyber security. We have unified threat management and use several solutions such as Kaspersky, FortiGate, and Mimecast. However, we felt that we needed something on top of all of these and decided to go with Darktrace. We only have one in-house IT security person and were looking for a solution like Darktrace that was more automated.

We're part of our regional hospital group in Northwestern Ontario. One of our group members was using the DarkTrace product suite. It was brought forward that other hospitals within the group may want to try it. A couple of us did a demo, which basically involved getting the appliance installed in our data center and routing all the traffic through it.
We basically had the product running for a company, however, it really didn't pop up or offered anything that we were not already aware of.

I'm currently heading cybersecurity for 1,500 entities. Some of them have deployed Vectra, and some of them have deployed Darktrace. Darktrace has been in the UK market for a while, whereas Vectra is a not-so-old player in the UK market.
We are using the latest version of Darktrace but not their latest offering. They are now also providing email security over the Darktrace platform, but we have not been utilizing that. We have been utilizing their network detection and response and some part of automated incident response (IR) capability.
We have a hybrid infrastructure. Some centers are deployed in the cloud, and some centers are deployed on-prem. The management platform is currently on-prem, but the plan is to move it to SaaS.

We have a Darktrace appliance, and we are using it to monitor threats in our network environment. It has the Antigena module installed. So, it does not only monitor but also proactively blocks when there is a physical threat.
It scans the entire network, which includes all IP addresses, subnets, and users. It is very smart for all different segments of the network.

Victor Ibanez
Director Comercial México at Aubay
We deployed Darktrace for one of the biggest telecommunications companies in Latin America. It is deployed on-premise, but it is more like a service because we don't care about the appliances. Even though it works with appliances, it is more related to the services to the connections that the solution can handle. Because of that, it is on-premise, but it also has a component with sensors that works for remote instances, almost like a cloud solution.
Some of the clients, especially in the security area, think that this appliance will replace a firewall or a prevention system solution, but it doesn't replace them. It actually complements them because the firewall decides to allow or deny a connection, and a prevention system is designed to avoid any type of risks to the connection or intrusion on the network. Darktrace allows you to find the unknown threats inside the network and identify them by using some artificial intelligence. It can do all the tracking inside or outside the network.
It is connected directly to the core switch, and in the first stage, it probably takes about a month to learn the behavior of the network and the users. With that, it starts to know what type of information is correct inside the network, and what type of information probably would be a risky connection or risky data moving from one site to another. It then starts doing the alerting. After the first stage or the learning stage is complete, we can find the size of the network. The second stage is the use of a different model inside the solution called Antigena. It works like the antibodies inside our body. Once it detects something that is wrong inside the network, it not only does the alerting but also takes the decision to block that type of connection in order to avoid any information leak or any possible risky connection. If somebody is doing some data mining, it disables connection to the engine that is doing the data mining.

Darktrace is deployed on our LAN, inside the network. No site, no internet, it's just for monitoring the LAN, local access network. It helps us to find a lot of threats inside the network. We are very happy with the solution. You don't need to have a lot of analysts with Darktrace who are making or following the incident. This solution helps you to send the notification and avoid threats.
