· Original article ↗

Summary

Darktrace says its Cyber AI Analyst conducted 90 million investigations in 2024. The company is adding DIGEST, which predicts threats likely to escalate, and DEMIST-2, a cybersecurity-focused language model that can run locally.

Key points

  • Darktrace says Cyber AI Analyst conducted 90 million investigations in 2024, escalating 3 million incidents for human validation; fewer than 500,000 were deemed critical.
  • The company says the system performed work equivalent to 42 million hours of human investigation and reduced false positives by 90%.
  • DIGEST uses graph neural networks to assess attack progression and predict which threats may escalate.
  • DEMIST-2 is a cybersecurity-focused language model for tasks such as assessing hostnames and file sensitivity and tracking users across environments.
  • Darktrace says DEMIST-2 can run on-premises or in the cloud, including without internet access, with inference kept local.
  • The article says Cyber AI Analyst combines machine learning and security-specific models to investigate and triage alerts, with human analysts validating and responding to escalated incidents.
