Computing’s Security Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements of the IT industry’s best security companies, solutions, products and personalities. An expert judging panel chose Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System as the best enterprise-grade security solution on the market, sitting on the bleeding edge of security requirements. The judges also honored James McGinnigle, selecting him as the UK’s most effective security professional in recognition of his introduction of business-changing security concepts at Marshall Wace, including the Enterprise Immune System.
The Enterprise Immune System works by using artificial intelligence to learn an evolving baseline of ‘normal’ for every user and device in a network, and uses that understanding to detect and autonomously fight back against emerging cyber-threats. The technology works across all types of networks, including physical, virtualized and cloud environments.
“We are very pleased to win the ‘Enterprise Security Award’ and the ‘Cloud Security Award’ at Computing’s Security Excellence Awards,” said Poppy Gustafsson, CEO EMEA, Darktrace. “Powered by machine learning and AI algorithms, the Enterprise Immune System has completely revolutionized cyber security for thousands of organizations across all industries. Our self-learning technology detects and autonomously responds to emerging cyber-threats in any part of the network, taking security teams out of the weeds and allowing organizations to spend their time and resources where they are really needed.”
