What is Darktrace / OT?

Darktrace / OT is a software designed to provide cyber threat detection and response for operational technology environments. It applies self-learning artificial intelligence to monitor network traffic across industrial control systems and critical infrastructure.

Darktrace / OT addresses the challenge of securing complex operational systems where traditional security tools may lack effectiveness due to proprietary protocols and legacy technologies.

Darktrace / OT Likes & Dislikes

Like

The Darktrace platform features a robust set of reporting tools, utilizing AI and behavior patterns used in machine learning models that we can correlate data to and from when it comes to our investigations for data exfiltration, network intrusions and lateral activity from within our network.

Like

Live status Restore function ('Heal' feature) Strong deployment support

Like

Visibility - Our Darktrace/OT appliances discover OT assets and communicate with our master appliance to provide a unified view of all IT and OT assets. ICS Threat Detection Models - AI-based models are used to learn the pattern of life of OT assets and detect deviations from the normal behaviour. Great for detecting unknown threats. Risk Modeling - The OTRM module combines IT and OT vulnerability data to map critical attack paths across the IT and OT networks. This helps us to prioritise vulnerabilities and identify our weakest points.

Dislike

Due to the type of software and its detection capabilities, DarkTrace will require a steeper learning curve to prepare its administrators on how to better utilize its features and functions.

Dislike

More expensive than some - a more difficult business case Broken up into modules with different functionality - both a strength and a weakness

Dislike

Pricey - It's a great tool, but it's not cheap. Not ideal for small companies with tight cybersecurity budgets. False-Positives - There is a good deal of false positives which can lead to alert fatigue. You'll learn to filter out the noise as you go along though. Info clarity - There's no simple way to list assets by OT site. While using tags offers a way to link assets to their OT site after initial discovery, organizing asset groups and their vulnerabilities based on the originating OT sensor would be a great improvement in terms of information clarity.
