Organizers hailed yesterday's event as a resounding success, bringing together the best in artificial and human intelligence. The online event featured a large number of international cybersecurity experts and showcased DarkTrace Antigen, the first and most advanced artificial intelligence solution applied to cybersecurity.

The webinar #GADTcibersecure It began promptly at the scheduled time. Following this, Nacho García, representing the Azulae Group, gave a brief introduction on the cybersecurity challenges facing companies.

He emphasized the demands that companies have to address security, both internal and external.

Some parameters to consider include: identity management, authorizations, access control, audits and risk control, among many others.

The first conclusion they reached is that "companies need a new approach to cybersecurity to operate effectively in a completely technological era."

Undoubtedly, the first step in solving current problems involves understanding what is happening in our infrastructure.

This requires having broad visibility and control over all networks, devices, cloud services and SaaS (software as a service), in order to protect the organization.

The second conclusion highlights that “traditional perimeter security solutions that only protect some areas of the infrastructure are not enough to face today’s powerful threats.” 

Next, Andrei Roca, an executive from DarkTrace, took the floor to explain the innovative and disruptive solution, “DarkTrace Antigen.” It's worth noting that its latest version was launched in 2019 and already boasts over 4,000 companies using it.

The “DarkTrace Antigen” cybersecurity system is capable of detecting and combating threats in real time thanks to its artificial intelligence.

Additionally, “DarkTrace Antigen” has an automated, unsupervised machine learning system. This functionality allows it to learn from what it observes—that is, from the organization's behavioral patterns upon which it builds its understanding of reality.

From then on, it anticipates, detects, and protects the organization in all the environments in which it operates. Therefore, it is able to provide complete visibility and comprehensive coverage of the digital infrastructure.

The third conclusion highlights "the disruptive nature of this solution, which is changing the world of cybersecurity."

The best part of the day was a demo, which allowed us to see DarkTrace's advanced solution in a practical way. We were able to see "DarkTrace Antigen". in action!

“DarkTrace Antigen” carried out different processes, among which the following stand out:

• View all environments.
• Model the entire behavior of the network.
• Learn from email by identifying communication patterns, users, critical contacts, email changes, suspicious labels, etc.
• Detect and defend all types of hybrid infrastructures (cloud, email, host, SCADA and IoT), industrial networks, host capabilities, etc.
• Analyze the life pattern of a company with more than 1 million behavioral patterns.
• Detect deviations.
• Emit alarm signals (see image below and yellow dots).
• Identify anomalous connections.
• Identify threats.
• Identify attack vectors.
• Responding to a brute-force attack in real time.
• Block communication.
• Protect servers with sensitive information and critical data.
• To uncover who is behind a cyberattack.
• Issue reports required by law in order to report attacks.

The demo allowed for easy visualization of all phases of an attack through a complete mapping. It also quickly demonstrated the following:

1. Where had the intruder moved?
2. The devices he had infected.
3. Resolve the issue within a 3-minute period, and
4. Restore service.

This tool is perfectly useful for all types of businesses:

• Startups with needs to protect critical data, information or processes.
• SMEs that need to secure their network and have limited staff and/or resources, or
• Large companies that have a portion of their IT budget allocated to cybersecurity.

With “DarkTrace Antigen” the time to investigate an event is reduced by 92%.

The 4th Conclusion shows that “if we add up the moments, the events, the number of threats and attacks that companies suffer, the investment in cybersecurity translates into profitability for the organization.”

Artificial intelligence, algorithms, behavioral patterns, and machine learning are the major advantages that differentiate DarkTrace's solutions from those on the market.

This means that it is not a SIEM, since it does not depend on the rules entered by the user to act in certain situations, but rather analyzes and learns autonomously to apply the best solution.

The Enterprise Immune System is a cyber defense technology that emulates the self-learning intelligence of the human immune system.

The human immune system learns what is normal for the body, identifying and neutralizing outliers that do not fit into that evolutionary pattern of normality.

Darktrace applies the same logic, using machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Enterprise Immune System technology interactively learns the "life patterns" that are unique to each device and user on a network. It then correlates this knowledge to detect threats and defend against emerging attacks in real time.

The 5th conclusion states that “it is impossible to defend against brute force attacks such as ransomware, phishing, fraudulent websites, malicious apps, banking trojans and identity theft, without employing artificial intelligence.”

This assertion is reinforced by the statements of Dr. Nick Jennings, chair of artificial intelligence at Imperial College London, UK, who said that this DarkTrace solution is “a major engineering innovation… essential for dealing with the volume, uniqueness and speed of modern cyber incidents.”

The end of the event was the most exciting part, as Grupo Azulae and DarkTrace presented awards to the attendees. The surprise consisted of a 30-day pilot test at no cost and without obligation.

The initiative aims to allow companies to test this cutting-edge technology, in order to discover the reality that lies within their infrastructures.
