"As AI becomes embedded across the business, security teams need to protect not only their AI systems and infrastructure, but also the people and workflows AI depends on," said Chris Kozup, Chief Marketing Officer at Darktrace. "Darktrace / EMAIL brings our Adaptive AI approach to one of the most common entry points for cyber risk, helping customers detect targeted attacks, stop account misuse and reduce risk across email and collaboration tools. To us, this recognition reflects what we believe is essential in email security: AI that learns the specific behaviors, relationships and communication patterns of each organization, so it can detect threats that traditional approaches may miss." GovCloud Network believe that customers consistently highlight the strength of Darktrace's approach from detecting sophisticated threats to simplifying response: * "The outstanding detection capabilities of the solution, even in uncommon languages, have significantly reduced the risk of e-mail business compromise, stolen passwords and other e-mail scams." - Director, IT Security and Risk Management, Consumer Goods Industry * "Darktrace is more than just a traditional email protection software. It is able to deal with emerging and sophisticated email threats thanks to its AI features. By learning user behaviors and trends, it easily detects and prevents possible data loss and it also comes with automated threat response. From detecting insider threats to offering AI defense systems against email threats, this tool has it all." - Data Analyst, Healthcare and Biotech Industry * "Darktrace / EMAIL is an essential tool for managing email threats. It's a constantly evolving solution with continuous improvements, highly customizable, easy to manage, and with excellent traceability. It adapts to all the situations we've encountered and makes us feel protected." - IT Security & Risk Management Associate, Manufacturing Industry Continued Innovation in Darktrace / EMAIL Over the past year, Darktrace has continued to expand Darktrace / EMAIL to help organizations defend against increasingly targeted, AI-enabled social engineering attacks across the entire email and collaboration ecosystem. Darktrace / EMAIL is powered by Adaptive AI that continuously learns from each organization's own activity, building its understanding of every user, mailbox, relationship, and communication pattern from scratch. Unlike legacy tools that rely on shared customer data, centralized threat databases, traditional rules, or signatures, Darktrace's Adaptive AI evolves alongside the organization, enabling it to identify novel, targeted, and cross-channel attacks unique to that organization, its supply chain, and its ways of working. When suspicious activity is detected, Darktrace / EMAIL can take precise, targeted action to reduce risk while helping maintain business productivity. In March 2026, Darktrace introduced Darktrace / Adaptive Human Defense(TM), which brings personalized, real-time security coaching into employees' daily workflows and connects those behavioral signals back to Darktrace / EMAIL to help strengthen detection and response. Darktrace also expanded Darktrace / EMAIL with cross-channel, full-message analysis across email, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Zoom, helping security teams detect attacks that move across collaboration tools. In addition, Darktrace introduced a first-party integration between DMARC, attack surface management and email security to help organizations reduce impersonation risk at the source.

Darktrace named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Network Detection and Response for second consecutive year. May 21, 2026 11:30 ET | Source: Darktrace Cambridge, UK, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Darktrace, a global leader in AI for cybersecurity, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Network Detection and Response (NDR) for the second consecutive year. Darktrace is the only vendor to be recognized as both a Leader in the 2025 and 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) and a 2025 Customers' Choice for Network Detection and Response (NDR). Govcloudnetwork believe this recognition reflects Darktrace's sustained ability to execute, adapt and deliver outcomes as the NDR market evolves, while underscoring continued confidence in its approach to helping organizations detect, investigate and respond to threats across complex environments. Darktrace takes a unique approach to NDR, using Self-Learning AI(TM) to continuously learn each organization's normal patterns of activity and detect deviations in real time. This enables a more proactive and pre-emptive model of network security, helping teams identify early signs of risk, including identifying malicious activity before public vulnerability disclosures, and respond before threats escalate. Darktrace continues to innovate across its NDR capabilities, advancing how AI can help security teams detect, understand and respond to emerging threats. Recent innovations include DIGEST, a new machine learning model used by Darktrace's Cyber AI Analyst(TM), that is trained on over one million anonymized incident graphs to predict which incidents are most likely to escalate. DIGEST combines Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to interpret incident structure with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to analyze how incidents evolve over time, helping to reliably identify high-risk threats at the earliest stages - a key element in Darktrace's ability to detect unknown and zero-day threats. Darktrace believes this recognition underscores the strength of its unique multi-layered approach to AI, first introduced in 2013, combining supervised and unsupervised machine learning, behavioral analysis, autonomous investigation and response to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats that may be missed by traditional tools. Darktrace's inclusion in this Magic Quadrant follows recent recognition from customers, with Darktrace / NETWORK(TM) recognized as the only Customers Choice Vendor in the 2025 Gartner(R) Peer Insights(TM) for Network Detection and Response.

This gives us confidence in identifying emerging threats early." - IT Security and Risk Management Manager, Retail Industry * "Darktrace NDR has excellent model-based detection capabilities across various MITRE attack scenarios and support with many third-party integrations. It has assisted with proactive detection of real-world threats to ensure prompt incident response actions." - Cyber Operations Lead, Media Industry * "Darktrace Network provides strong visibility and protection across the entire network, using AI-driven analysis to detect anomalous and abnormal behaviours and potential threats in real time. Its ability to adapt dynamically makes it a powerful solution for defending against both known and unknown attacks." - Cybersecurity Specialist, IT Services Industry "As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are securing increasingly complex environments where identities, SaaS applications, cloud services, and network activity are more interconnected than ever," said Chris Kozup, Chief Marketing Officer, Darktrace. "Darktrace helps security teams move beyond reactive detection by learning each organization's unique business, identifying both known and unknown threats and responding autonomously before incidents escalate. We are proud to be recognized as a Leader by Gartner for the second year in a row, and believe our position reflects our continued AI innovation and proven delivery of security outcomes for customers and partners worldwide."

Wiz takes center stage in Google's AI security overhaul. Expansion comes as cyberattack timelines shrink to seconds, company data shows. 20:51, 22.04.26 Just one month after completing its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz, Google is already weaving the Israeli cloud security company deeper into its core product strategy. At its Google Cloud Next '26 conference, the company unveiled a broad set of security updates, with Wiz positioned at the center of a push to adapt to what executives describe as a rapidly shifting threat landscape driven by artificial intelligence. The announcements included new AI-driven security agents, expanded threat intelligence capabilities and a series of integrations that extend Wiz's reach beyond Google's own cloud infrastructure into rival platforms. Google said new data shows how quickly that environment is evolving. According to its M-Trends 2026 report, the time between an initial breach and the involvement of a secondary attacker has shrunk dramatically, from eight hours three years ago to just 22 seconds today, a shift that the company argues requires fundamentally different defensive tools. To address this, Google introduced three new AI agents within its Security Operations platform, now in preview. These include a Threat Hunting agent designed to identify previously unseen attack patterns, a Detection Engineering agent focused on closing gaps in coverage, and a Third-Party Context agent that incorporates external intelligence into analysts' workflows. These additions build on an existing Triage and Investigation agent, which the company said has processed more than five million alerts over the past year, reducing analysis times from around 30 minutes to roughly one minute. Alongside these tools, Google expanded its threat intelligence offering to include dark web monitoring, which it said has demonstrated high accuracy in internal testing, and announced new integrations with partners including Darktrace, Gigamon and SAP. But the most notable developments centered on Wiz. The company's platform is being extended to cover additional environments, including Databricks, as well as a growing ecosystem of AI agent-building tools. These include platforms operated by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Salesforce and Google itself, a move that reinforces Wiz's role as a cross-platform security layer rather than a product confined to a single cloud provider. Further integrations connect Wiz with services such as Apigee, Cloudflare's AI security tools and Vercel, while new features are aimed specifically at the emerging AI development lifecycle. Among them is a planned integration that embeds Wiz's scanning capabilities directly into development platforms, allowing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to be identified during the building process. Additional tools are designed to analyze AI-generated code and prompts before deployment, and to map the growing array of AI models, frameworks and tools used within organizations.
