Our take
With the rise of sophisticated cyberattacks, the need for cutting-edge defence mechanisms has never been more critical. Darktrace addresses this challenge by leveraging AI-enabled threat detection technology, enabling organisations to swiftly identify and respond to abnormal network activity.
