Darktrace sees 'strong demand' for PREVENT offering

(Sharecast News) - 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.
