wWhat necessitated your decision to implement Darktrace ?

As one of Asia ’ s leading integrated telecommunications and technology providers , HKBN manages a vast amount of the public and enterprises ’ intellectual property and confidential data . Telecommunications is now considered as critical infrastructure and the industry as a whole has increasingly become a target for the most sophisticated cybercriminals seeking to wreak havoc and disruption .
With rapid growth and expansion plans as a fully integrated ICT solutions provider on the horizon , we are always looking for the best-in-class technologies to build cyber-resilience across our entire organisation : from internal assets like talent ’ s data and intellectual property , right through to sensitive information concerning third parties involved in ongoing mergers and acquisitions .
As with many organisations , Digital Transformation has accelerated across our business . But , unlike others , we aspire to not only bring innovations within our business , but to our enterprise customers too . At HKBN , security services and solutions must be advanced and best fit to business needs .

considered a number of well-known cybersecurity solutions .

The AI ability is unparalleled . It is able to detect novel attacks and insider threats – malicious and nonmalicious – that often slip under the radar of other security tools .
What led you to choose to work with Darktrace specifically ?
The reality is that cyberattackers are constantly evolving their techniques .
