Darktrace Cyber AI Analyst
investigates threats at machine speed
arktrace, a world leading cyber
AI company, has announced the
launch of the Cyber AI Analyst,
a new technology that emulates human
thought processes to continuously
investigate cyberthreats at machine
speed. Early adopters of the technology
have reported a 92% reduction in the
time required to investigate threats and
provide conclusions to executives.

Using various forms of Machine
Learning, including unsupervised,
supervised and Deep Learning, the
technology learned human intuition and
trade craft from more than 100 world-

Darktrace’s Cyber AI Analyst
accelerates this process, continuously
conducting investigations behind the
scenes and operating at a speed and
scale beyond human capabilities.
And crucially, it can conduct expert
investigations into hundreds of parallel
threads simultaneously and instantly
communicate its findings in the form of
an actionable security narrative.
By learning from the millions of
interactions between Darktrace’s
expert analysts and the output of
the Enterprise Immune System –
Darktrace’s flagship threat detection
product – the Cyber AI Analyst
combines human expertise with the
consistency, speed and scalability of AI.
The ability of AI to investigate every
possibility, make connections between
seemingly disparate events and quickly
illuminate the full scope of a security
incident dramatically reduces ‘time
to meaning’ and buys back time for
human teams.
This ground-breaking innovation is the
culmination of more than three years of
research at the Darktrace R&D Centre in
Cambridge, UK.
human analyst will spend half an hour
to half a day investigating a single
suspicious security incident. They will
look for patterns, form hypotheses and
reach conclusions about how to mitigate
the threat and share the findings with the
rest of the business.
“The burden of investigating threats
typically falls on the shoulders of
a small number of trained security
professionals,” said Mike Beck, Global
Head of Threat Analysis, Darktrace.
“With Cyber AI Analyst, security teams
can now rely on AI to investigate
hundreds of threats at once, allowing
human analysts to focus on the most
strategic work.” u
