Darktrace, the world leader in AI technology for cyber defence, has announced that total contract value in South Africa has increased exponentially since its first customer in the region, major regional airline Airlink, deployed Darktrace\u2019s AI cyber defence technology in May 2016. Leading law firm, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, management group, Massmart, and popular retailer, Lewis Group, are among the organisations in South Africa that have recently chosen Darktrace\u2019s Enterprise Immune System to defend their networks against pernicious cyberthreats.<\/p>\n
\u201cDarktrace is leading the way in empowering organisations to defend their networks against threats from within,\u201d said Ralph Hopkins, Head of IT, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr. \u201cWhile there is no silver bullet to the challenge of cybersecurity, the future belongs to machine learning and AI. Darktrace\u2019s Enterprise Immune System impressed us with its ability to self-learn our network and apply that self-acquired knowledge to detect threats as and when they emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Darktrace\u2019s disruptive cybersecurity technology leverages advances in machine learning and probabilistic mathematics to mimic the self-learning intelligence of the human immune system. The artificial intelligence algorithms are able to detect and autonomously respond to emerging cyberattacks and other threatening anomalies, while also enabling real-time visualisation of all network traffic. Proven across over 3,000 deployments world-wide, the Enterprise Immune System has detected over 48,000 serious in-progress attacks across 70 countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Enterprise Immune System has transformed our cybersecurity strategy,\u201d said Peter Alberts, Executive ICT shared services, Massmart. \u201cThe reality is that in today\u2019s threat landscape, it is a matter of when, not if, a threat gets inside the network. Now, we can be confident that we will be alerted to emerging attacks in real time, before they have inflicted damage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled that so many companies in South Africa are deploying the Enterprise Immune System,\u201d said Nick Trim, Managing Director, EMEA, Darktrace. \u201cThe threat has evolved. It\u2019s now too stealthy and fast-moving for human security teams alone to be able to successfully fight against it. Darktrace\u2019s AI technology is uniquely capable of autonomously fighting back against in-progress cyber threats, buying the security team precious time to catch up.\u201d \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
