CASE STUDY with all of them and bringing the visibility required into our vast infrastructure and dynamic environment .
What are the advantages of Darktrace compared to your old solution ?
Static security – tools that differentiate ‘ good ’ and ‘ bad ’ based on pre-existing rules are simply not keeping up with the pace of cybercriminals today .
The beauty of AI is its ability to handle uncertainty and change – it learns what is normal , and then relearns it and relearns it again . It is constantly re-evaluating its assumptions . That means it can keep up with our fast-changing environment . It can make decisions in seconds between what is strange but benign , and strange but threatening .
The importance of AI was only intensified by the advent of remote working . Darktrace was the only tool that adapted with us , fully protecting our dynamic workforce . The physical perimeter around our organization dissolved , but with AI we were not constrained by partial visibility , and our security operations center continued to receive immediate , real-time warnings of truly anomalous activities .
What threats is HKBN vulnerable to that Darktrace is able to defend against ?
Cybersecurity is a never-ending challenge , and no organization is 100 % secure . It is well known that the
stakes are high for the telecommunications industry , if attackers were left undetected , they could slow down our IT networks or bring them down entirely . Attacks today are fast-moving and require machine speed responses . With Darktrace AI we can proactively and comprehensively manage risk across our entire enterprise . I am confident if a threat were to emerge , cyber AI will automatically detect it .
What could be the consequences of such threats for HKBN and its customers ?
Service continuity and customer data are of critical importance to us , as well as the business of our customers . That ’ s why we take cybersecurity as our topmost priority .
How do your customers benefit from the solution ?
Cyberattacks today could cause widespread disruption – we see this in the news all too often .
Having AI technologies to detect abnormality can help protect our organization and digital infrastructure , allowing us to provide a reliable service for our customers round the clock . Darktrace ’ s advanced technologies help us ensure data security and uninterrupted connectivity service to all our customers – one-third of all households and one-half of all businesses in Hong Kong . p
