WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF: AI’s are increasingly being deployed to expose and eliminate cyber security threats and now fully autonomous cyber security platforms, that take humans out of the loop, are becoming a reality.


With the number of cyber attacks rising exponentially and with many organisations now reporting hundreds of thousands of attacks an hour, or more, it’s no secret that human cyber security analysts are struggling to keep up with the pace, and variety of attacks. Consequently it’s little wonder that vendors are turning to artificial intelligence (AI), such as the Robo-Hackers that took part in DARPA Capture the Flag Challenge, to automate as much of the process as possible – from identification to remediation.

A few years ago Darktrace, a cyber security company founded by a team of mathematicians and machine learning specialists from the GCHQ, MI5, and University of Cambridge, broke cover and announced its revolutionary new approach to identifying and countering zero day and other hard to find cyber attacks. Maths and artificial intelligence (AI). A truly deadly combo.

What made the company unique though, and one of the reasons why it’s now one of the darlings of the cyber security industry with more Fortune customers on its books than you can shake a stick at, was its approach – they created what they call an “Enterprise immune system,” fashioned after the human immune system. Think of how the human body is able to identify, respond to and eliminate bacteria and diseases it’s never encountered before, and now apply that same concept to cyber attacks, and you’ve got the basic concept.

Now, Darktrace has unleashed a new weapon in its cyber security arsenal, a product called Antigena that generates the equivalent of “Digital antibodies,” small snippets of antibody like code which permeate an enterprise organisations network looking for threats that can identify in progress attacks and either counter them, automatically, and create self-defending networks, or slow them down enough to let human security analysts get a handle on them.
