Darktrace / NETWORK
By Darktrace
The network module of Darktrace's ActiveAI Security Platform, which builds a continuously updated behavioral model of an organization's traffic rather than matching known attack signatures. Its Autonomous Response capability can take real-time, proportionate blocking action on traffic that deviates from that learned baseline.
