Darktrace sees 'strong demand' for PREVENT offering

Cyber security firm Darktrace said on Monday that it had seen "strong demand" for its new PREVENT product family as more and more organisations sought to prevent cyber-attacks.

Darktrace said its PREVENT offering, which became generally available in August, had seen "the longest list of customer opt-ins" of any product launch in its history.

Chief executive Poppy Gustafsson said: "This technology is making the job of the attacker much harder as it arms security teams with unprecedented, AI-powered tools, which can pre-empt even the most complex cyber-attacks.

"It represents a fundamental shift in cyber-security, putting security teams on the front foot as they seek to protect their organisations and build cyber resilience."

As of 0840 GMT, Darktrace shares were up 0.81% at 399.10p.
