The primary function of Cyber Analyst is to automatically triage and interpret security events detected by Darktrace's Enterprise Immune System. This system continuously monitors network activity and identifies anomalies that could indicate cyber threats. Once a potential threat is detected, Cyber Analyst steps in to analyze the incident, pulling together related events and behaviors into a cohesive incident report. This report is designed to be easily digestible, enabling even non-technical users to understand the nature of the threat and take appropriate action.
One of the key benefits of using Cyber Analyst is its ability to significantly reduce triage time. By automating the investigation process, it can decrease the time required to assess incidents by up to 92%. This efficiency allows security teams to focus on more strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down in routine investigations. The platform continuously examines every event that arises, ensuring that no potential threat goes unnoticed.
Cyber Analyst generates reports that summarize urgent incidents and provide context around each threat. These reports are written in a narrative format that highlights critical issues, making it easier for security teams to prioritize their responses. The AI uses a combination of supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, as well as deep learning methods, to enhance its understanding of threats over time. This continuous learning process allows it to adapt to new and emerging threats quickly.
The platform is particularly valuable in environments where there is a shortage of skilled cybersecurity personnel. By automating many aspects of threat investigation, Cyber Analyst helps organizations maintain robust security measures without requiring extensive human resources. It also integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments while enhancing their capabilities.
For organizations looking to improve their overall security posture, Cyber Analyst provides insights into the broader context of incidents, including root causes and potential impacts. This holistic view enables organizations to make informed decisions about their security strategies and resource allocation.
Cyber Analyst typically operates on a subscription-based pricing model, with options tailored to the size and needs of the organization. This flexibility allows businesses of all sizes to access powerful cybersecurity tools that can scale with their requirements.
