CAMBRIDGE, England, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, today announced that a leading multinational technology manufacturer successfully interrupted Babuk ransomware with Darktrace's Autonomous Response technology, Antigena.
Headquartered in Asia, the company designs and manufactures technology solutions that facilitate the adoption of smart medical devices as well as electric and autonomous vehicles and is a key industry player.
The organization was using Darktrace's detect, respond and investigate capabilities. The Self-Learning AI forms a constantly evolving understanding of both IT and operational technologies at the company, allowing it to identify the subtle, emerging signs of cyber-threats in real time.
In the early hours of the morning, Darktrace AI detected that a device within the business was behaving abnormally; it was performing network scanning and making unusual connections with other internal devices. The AI not only noted this behavior as out-of-the-ordinary but as malicious.
The algorithms then calculated the best action to take to autonomously contain the in-progress attack and blocked the infected device from making further connections while allowing normal business operations to continue – both in the office and on the manufacturing floor. These algorithms work by enforcing the normal "patterns of life" for compromised users and devices. This proportionate and highly targeted response is possible because of the AI's continually evolving understanding of what "normal" looks like at a granular level for each part of the company's digital ecosystem.
In post-compromise analysis conducted by the AI, it was found that the device was attempting to distribute files involving "babyk" extensions.
