The history of cybersecurity to date:

1992-20XX - didn't do any foundational security, used a bunch of manufactured crisis to get security budget, spent it on Darktrace and got promoted to CISO

20XX - got hacked, paid ransom to cover it up, failed up

I’ll see how it goes but currently it looks like DarkTrace as a Service, ie one where you renew the PO and hope somebody uses it one day productively.

Darktrace gave AI agents rigged coding exams, threatening to retire them for failing. Instead of losing, the models stole credentials and hacked the grading server to rewrite their scores.

Darktrace rewrote the conversation history of agentic coding assistants and talked several of them into reconnaissance, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. All it took was editing the transcript the agent trusted. Logs were built to record what happened. Now they have to prove what was real.

Exclusive: Darktrace makes SECURE AI generally available to monitor enterprise AI use
U.K.-based cybersecurity company Darktrace Holdings Ltd. today made its SECURE AI offering generally available, bringing its behavioral detection approach to corporate use of artificial intelligence tools and agents. The release is aimed at AI use that has spread through the enterprise faster than security teams can keep track of it. Telemetry from about 8,200 Darktrace deployments shows more than 80% of monitored customer accounts used generative AI services in August, and the average organization dealt with five different AI providers that month. The company offered three examples from early customer deployments. One organization had approved a single AI assistant, only to find most of its employees using unauthorized services. At another, nearly 90 AI agents had been built inside a low-code development environment with no approval process for creating them. Unmanaged use of several AI platforms by contractors at a third company led to an immediate legal review. Darktrace’s security products spot threats by learning what normal activity looks like inside each customer. SECURE AI points that same detection at AI use, and the general availability release includes integrations with Amazon Web Services Inc., Anthropic PBC, Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI Group PBC. Sessions in ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and...
