Darktrace, the San Francisco and Cambridge-based cybersecurity firm, announced the closing of its Series E financing tonight, earning $ 50 million for a $ 1.65-billion valuation. Led by the European private equity firm, Vitruvian's partners, the new round was also dubbed by existing investors KKR and 1011 Ventures.
Forbes The first announcement of the operation during the rumor in May, noting that the operation had strengthened the rare status of Darktrace as a British technician (their valuation jumped $ 400 million since).
Their success – which earned them a legend in 2018 Forbes Cloud 100 – has been anchored in "Enterprise Immune System," a software package that uses machine learning to detect threats. This is a fairly simple idea in technological jargon: Darktrace algorithms analyze massive amounts of user data from a specific network and use it to establish a baseline of normal user actions. If someone starts behaving strangely – an indication of a malicious actor – the software notifies internal security. By monitoring abnormal behaviors instead of specific threats, the software can theoretically respond to new attacks.
The idea was to "reverse the problem, not with the intelligence & approach; is, but how simple, "said Nicole Eagan, CEO of Darktrace.
The same idea guided the development of the "Antigena" software, an automated security response to threats detected by Enterprise Immune System. When an attack is detected, Antigena restricts the user's behavior to its normal functions, letting the operations continue while containing the attack.
The idea has gained momentum. Since its last round of fundraising in July 2017, Darktrace has begun a period of rapid expansion, doubling the deployment of its networks to 7,000, opening up numerous sales offices and a second R & D center in Cambridge. (they intend to reach 1000 by the end of their June fiscal year).
The underlying extension of Darktrace is the growing threat of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. To stay one step ahead, investors are pouring huge sums into cybersecurity companies through machine learning. California competitors Crowdstrike and Cylance both closed their financing rounds in June, bringing in $ 200 and $ 120 million, respectively.
"We are anticipating the day when artificial intelligence will be integrated into the attack itself," says Eagan. "Once this happens, we think that schools & lsqb security & rsqb; that rely on incremental gains and the analysis of workflows will fall under cover. "
