Darktrace / OT

Darktrace OT correlates activity across IT, OT and IoT networks, offering a unified security posture. This is crucial in industrial environments with increasing connectivity between factory floors and enterprise systems. The built-in cyber analyst capability autonomously investigates alerts and generates attack narratives, saving SOC analysts significant time by filtering noise and producing prioritized, explainable threat reports.

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

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.

Steep learning curve and complex interface. The OT interface is robust, but it can be overwhelming, especially for teams not already accustomed to working with AI driven security platforms. The threat visualizer, while powerful, requires a strong understanding of network behavior and anomaly interpretation. SOC analysts and OT engineers often need additional training to effectively navigate alerts and investigations.

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

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.
