Enterprise Immune System Equips Security Experts In Fight Against
Targeted Threats

SINGAPORE – 9 June 2016 – NCC Group is working with Darktrace, the
leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, as part of its continued efforts
to combat targeted threats.

The cyber security and risk
mitigation specialist will use technology from Darktrace in its Security Operations
Centres. The Group’s Cyber Defence Operations division, which is recognised for
its capabilities in research, protective monitoring, breach hunting and cyber
incident response, will also make use of the technology.

The partnership will see
NCC Group’s security experts use the insight from Darktrace’s ‘immune system’
approach to provide comprehensive support for its customers, both proactively
for ongoing defence and reactively following a cyber incident.

Ollie Whitehouse,
Technical Director at NCC Group, said: “The Darktrace partnership complements
our own research and development strategy around machine learning application
in cyber defence scenarios.”

“We are acutely
aware that with a greater number of targeted, skilled attackers at large,
companies need to embrace the latest technologies to identify threats earlier
than they might otherwise.”

Sanjay Aurora,
Managing Director of Darktrace in Asia-Pacific, added: “We are proud to be
partnering with NCC Group’s industry experts to help drive machine learning to
the forefront of cyber security.”

“The days of
solely rules and signatures are over, as the battle is moving inside company
networks. Organisations need to assume they will be compromised and proactively
implement strategies to keep attackers at bay.”
