Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security artificial intelligence (AI), announced strong demand for its new Darktrace PREVENT™ product family as organizations seek to prevent cyber-attacks, rather than waiting for breaches to happen. In the three months since PREVENT became generally available in August 2022, Darktrace has seen the longest list of customer opt-ins than for any product launch in its history.
New data commissioned by Darktrace from International Data Corporation (IDC), a global market intelligence firm, shows that almost two-thirds of organizations do not have high confidence in identifying their greatest vulnerabilities or weaknesses, leaving them exposed to attack.[1] 81% of organizations surveyed stated that AI insights would help them to automate their security posture.
This comes as global economic losses due to cyber-crime per year are estimated at $6 trillion and are forecast to rise to $10.5 trillion by 2025.[2] Darktrace PREVENT offers a predictive and preventative approach for tackling cyber-threats and business risk by using AI to ‘think like an attacker,’ finding pathways to an organization’s most critical assets from inside and outside. It is the third product area in Darktrace’s delivery of its Cyber AI Loop™, the industry-first set of always-on AI capabilities that work together to optimize an organization’s state of security through a continuous feedback loop.
In the three months since August, customers across all major industries have purchased PREVENT, including, but not limited to:
- ProPhase Diagnostics, a NASDAQ-listed BioTech company based in the U.S.
- Sellen Construction, a leading construction company in the U.S.
- Rudin Management, one of the largest privately owned real estate companies in New York City
- Direct Federal Credit Union, a U.S. credit union serving tens of thousands of members
Other new PREVENT customers include a UK-based housing provider with over 50,000 customers, an international manufacturing and distribution company operating across 100+ countries and a U.S. hospital facility with 700+ employees, among others. All of the PREVENT customers announced today already use Darktrace DETECT™ or RESPOND™, or both of these capabilities, creating a technology ecosystem which continuously learns from the threat landscape as it enhances protections, pre-empts threats and hardens security.
