Darktrace — ActiveAI Security Platform™
Self-Learning AI that sees what your other tools miss.
Most security tools protect against threats they already know about. Darktrace takes a fundamentally different approach — its Self-Learning AI builds a dynamic understanding of what is normal for your specific organisation, then detects deviations the moment they occur. No rules. No signatures. No prior knowledge of the attack required.
The result: unknown ransomware, novel network intrusions, insider threats, and supply chain attacks detected and interrupted in seconds — across network, email, cloud, OT, identity, and endpoint environments.
Book a Network Security Assessment Network Security Service →Every new ransomware variant, every novel attack technique, every unknown threat starts its life invisible to signature-based security tools. By the time a threat is identified and a signature is issued, the damage is already done. The average attacker spends over 200 days in a network before being detected by traditional tools.
Darktrace Self-Learning AI does not wait to recognise a threat — it detects the behaviour of an attack in progress, regardless of whether the specific technique has ever been seen before.

How It Works
Self-Learning AI — Not Signatures, Not Rules
Darktrace's AI learns the normal patterns of behaviour across your entire digital environment — users, devices, network traffic, email, cloud workloads, and OT systems. When anything deviates from that pattern, Darktrace detects it immediately and responds autonomously.
Darktrace AI builds a unique model of normal behaviour for every user, device, and workflow in your organisation. This baseline is dynamic — it evolves as your environment changes — and it is specific to you, not built on someone else's threat data.
The moment a device starts behaving unusually — unexpected connections, unusual data movement, abnormal login patterns — Darktrace detects the deviation in seconds. No signature required. No prior knowledge of the attack technique needed.
Because detection is based on behaviour rather than known signatures, Darktrace catches threats that every other tool misses — zero-days, novel ransomware variants, insider threats, and supply chain compromises that have never been seen before.
The Cyber AI Analyst automatically investigates every threat alert — correlating events, reconstructing the attack timeline, and producing human-readable incident reports. What would take an analyst hours is done in seconds, with full forensic detail.
Every investigation produces documented forensic evidence — attack timeline, affected assets, data movement, and recommended actions. These reports satisfy NIS2's requirement for documented incident detection and form the audit trail regulators require.
Darktrace correlates signals across network, email, cloud, endpoint, and identity — connecting individual anomalies into a coherent attack narrative. You see the full picture of an incident, not isolated alerts that require manual correlation.
Darktrace's Autonomous Response acts at machine speed — interrupting attacks the moment they are detected, without waiting for a human to triage and respond. Threats are contained before they can spread, encrypt data, or exfiltrate information.
Autonomous Response is designed to be surgically precise — blocking only the malicious behaviour while allowing legitimate business activity to continue. It does not shut down whole network segments; it targets specific connections and activities.
Security teams retain full visibility and control at all times. Autonomous Response can be configured to act fully automatically, to require human approval, or to suggest actions only — depending on your team's preferences and security posture.
Darktrace's Proactive Exposure Management continuously identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed assets across your environment — before attackers find them. Move from reactive detection to proactive hardening.
Continuously discover and monitor your external attack surface — unknown assets, shadow IT, exposed services, and third-party dependencies. Maintain a live view of everything that could be targeted by an attacker.
Darktrace's Incident Readiness & Recovery capabilities help organisations prepare for incidents before they happen and recover faster when they do — reducing downtime and the operational impact of a successful attack.
Platform Coverage
The ActiveAI Security Platform™
One platform. One AI. Full coverage across every vector of your digital environment — so your security team has a single, coherent view of threats rather than a fragmented stack of disconnected tools.
Compliance
NIS2, DORA & Beyond
NIS2 Article 21 requires documented technical measures for network security, incident detection and response, and continuous monitoring. Darktrace satisfies all three requirements directly — with AI-driven detection, automated response, and forensic-quality audit evidence.
Why Magic Stone Chose Darktrace
Behaviour Over Signatures. Detection Over Hope.
Every network security tool Magic Stone evaluated works from a library of known threats. Darktrace works from a model of your specific environment. The difference is decisive: known threats are already dangerous; unknown threats are catastrophic when missed.
For organisations in scope for NIS2, the ability to detect novel threats and produce documented evidence of that detection is not optional — it is what regulators require.
- Detects unknown threats — no signatures, no prior knowledge required
- Autonomous Response — interrupts attacks in under a second
- Full platform coverage — network, email, cloud, OT, identity, endpoint
- Compliance evidence built in — Cyber AI Analyst produces forensic reports automatically
- Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for NDR 2025 and 2026
- 10,000+ customers across every industry and size

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Darktrace Self-Learning AI analyses behaviour across your entire network and digital environment — building a unique understanding of what is normal for your organisation. When something deviates from that pattern, it detects the anomaly in seconds, even if the threat has never been seen before. Unlike signature-based tools, it requires no pre-built rules or prior knowledge of the attack.
The Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform is Darktrace's unified cybersecurity platform covering network, email, cloud, OT, identity, and endpoint security. It uses Self-Learning AI to detect novel threats across the entire digital environment and responds autonomously in seconds — interrupting attacks before they cause damage. The platform also includes the Cyber AI Analyst for automated investigation and Proactive Exposure Management for continuous vulnerability discovery.
NIS2 Article 21 requires documented technical measures for network security, incident detection and response, and continuous monitoring. Darktrace satisfies all three: Self-Learning AI detects anomalies across the network continuously, Autonomous Response interrupts threats in seconds, and the Cyber AI Analyst generates forensic-quality incident reports that serve as documented compliance evidence for NIS2 regulators.
Yes. Darktrace was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response (NDR) — one of the most competitive categories in enterprise cybersecurity. It was also named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for NDR.
Yes. Darktrace integrates with SIEMs, SOARs, and other security platforms. It is designed to complement your existing stack — adding AI-driven detection and response across network, cloud, email, OT, and endpoint, regardless of which other tools you use. It also integrates with Microsoft and AWS environments natively.
