New Era of Machine-On-Machine Attacks - Digital Antibodies Launched
CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2016 /CNW/ - Darktrace, the world leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, has announced Darktrace Antigena, a ground-breaking new product that uses machine learning to allow networks to automatically self-defend.
At the dawn of a new era where machines fight machines and sophisticated attackers are mobilized, Darktrace is the first company in the world to arm the defenders with proven machine learning and mathematics that work without any prior knowledge of attacks, rules or signatures. With Antigena, Darktrace now spots and inoculates against unknown threats, as they germinate within organizations in real time.
"The battlefield is the corporate network - we cannot fight the battle on the border anymore. We are living through a new era of threat which is relentless and pernicious - and it's inside our networks now. Today, we have arrived at new detection that reacts faster than any security team can," said Nicole Eagan, CEO, Darktrace.
With over 200 customers and 20 global locations, Darktrace is the fastest growing cyber company in the world and recognized by the World Economic Forum, thanks to its Enterprise Immune System technology:

- Detects threat without any prior knowledge of what it is looking for
- Powered by unparalleled machine learning, developed by renowned mathematicians from the University of Cambridge
- No rules, no signatures
Darktrace Antigena is a new product innovation, which replicates the function of antibodies in the human immune system.
