Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, today announces availability of Darktrace PREVENT/OT™, a product that identifies the paths adversaries may take to attempt to disrupt the operations of critical infrastructure. This unique approach uses AI to "think like an attacker" to visualize pathways within information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) that lead to critical infrastructure assets, empowering defenders to harden environments and stay steps ahead of the adversary.

PREVENT/OT is part of the Darktrace/OT product family, protecting complex industrial environments against known and unknown attacks, using self-learning AI to discover and identify assets and detect subtle deviations that point to a cyber-threat. First launched in 2015, Darktrace/OT DETECT and RESPOND™ are currently used by hundreds of critical infrastructure companies in utilities including electric, water, oil & gas, maritime, and transportation.

"In one of our early adopters Darktrace AI found a complete viable attack path from a public email account to a deeply protected and active production PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): a vital component of all Industrial Control Systems. The organization was not aware this long, but complete path spanning both IT and OT systems existed. Some steps were not simple to exploit, but fundamentally a committed attacker could have followed this path and could have manipulated the controller logic, sound alarms, or even worse start and stop processes impacting the operation of the entire facility" said Jeffrey Macre, Industrial Security Solutions Architect at Darktrace. "We are incredibly proud to support the many critical infrastructure organizations that we do today and excited to deliver this new capability to prevent the worst-case attacks before they can happen. We are seeing great interest from customers in these capabilities."

The company signed several new deals with critical infrastructure organizations across the globe in the last three months including new customers, renewals and expanded contracts within the critical infrastructure industry. Darktrace already defends customers across all 16 critical infrastructure sectors designated by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in the US. The deals underscore a paradigm shift occurring around the globe that sees governments putting in place new mandates and rules requiring more robust cyber protections in critical industries, including healthcare, financial services, energy and chemicals.

"We are thrilled to have closed our largest deal to date with a major critical infrastructure organization," commented CEO Poppy Gustafsson.

"Critical infrastructure is a top target for the world's most sophisticated and well-resourced cyber-attackers. Now with our PREVENT/OT product, defenders can prioritize and test the routes adversaries might take to get to the 'crown jewels'.

Crucially, we can then harden defenses against that attack in advance of the worst happening. That is truly game changing in the ongoing battle for control of the world's critical infrastructure and I am delighted that Darktrace has continued to evolve its product family to address this global challenge."

The deals include, among others:

· A major provider of critical infrastructure services which has signed a multi-million-dollar, multi-year deal with Darktrace in Q2 of fiscal year 2023 - the single largest deal signed by the business to date

· A leading power transmission company with a majority stake in its National Power Grid

· An energy supplier with over 500 gas stations

· A not-for-profit electric power supplier with over 150,000 member-owned accounts

· A global chemicals company operating across 20+ countries

· A major provider of crude oil and natural gas listed on the NYSE

darktrace ANNOUNCES PREVENT/ot™ to pre-empt cyber attacks on The world's most CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE



Darktrace closes its largest deal to date with a critical infrastructure organization to get ahead of state-sponsored attacks and support digital transformation

QCM down again (yesterday) - as foreshadowed.

=0.1% So covering only 700k shares. Costly.

[one_frankel] 08/2/2023 13:33

You should really try and read between the lines of good old Jerome's speech 'Chairman Reject' and its not the first time he or the Fed have anticipated the future so mistakenly!

...And whilst inflation alleviating 'A Little' is soothing to see except that's not the overriding risk to a sustainable economy because you cannot keep with those QE initiatives and for decades before cracks start to appear in the sustainability of the global financial system and thats what the world over is currently contemplating so lets see what good old Jerome thinks in several months time but it certainly won't be what the Central Bank goons initially thought!

[one_frankel] 08/2/2023 13:24

Its below its IPO and yet the mu_gs have the audacity to ring its praises and dont despair over the 'Shorts' just yet as they have plenty of time to make amends but do you, hehe!

[timmy11] 08/2/2023 11:13

half penny loser hahahaha

[timmy11] 08/2/2023 11:13

one frankel loser hahahaha

[the chairman elect] 08/2/2023 08:40

AI as well as tech related turning bullish over on Wall Street....bodes well for DARK ness my old friend!

[crosswires] 08/2/2023 08:38

and I believe I mentioned this would hit £2.50 this week (last week ;))

Not so much noise from the shorts now is there, rather a predictable bunch I find. This could shoot up like a coiled spring to £3, although I’m not saying it will, it just could ;)

[longtallsally] 08/2/2023 08:37

Well done Crosswires

[crosswires] 08/2/2023 08:21

With the relatively low amount of shares that Darktrace are buying back each day this buyback program could go on for months, supporting the share price the whole time. Add in that QCM seem to be reducing is lovely news for those who are not long term investors or sborts but who want to make some money over the next few weeks/months .

[thunders] 07/2/2023 21:29

This company is leder in AI technolgy and will get noticed by investor one day. By that time it will be too late.

[crosswires] 07/2/2023 20:52

Laughable indeed and with today’s spike near day end I bet you they reduced further.

CLOWNS 🤡

[plunger2] 07/2/2023 17:57

QCM reduced their short again (3 Feb).
They must be super confident in the report they wrote - NOT.

Laughable.

[one_frankel] 07/2/2023 16:31

Except its neither the first time nor the only enterprise to lambhast Darktrace!

[woolybanana] 07/2/2023 13:42

Wasn’t another FTSE firm, Burford Capital, subjected to a similar shorting attack a couple of years ago? What jogs my memory is that the language used and the areas attacked seem to have been very similar if not identical. If this is true it might suggest that the attacks are meaningless bullsh*t and have no validity and are aimed at doing maximum short term damage to companies which have no chance to defend themselves out of the public eye before the whole thing is blasted across the press.

[g2theary] 07/2/2023 08:14

Back to 250p en route ;)
