Solution	Confiar adopted Darktrace's Self-Learning AI to defend against novel and sophisticated threats. This AI solution analyzes all raw traffic across an organization, including email, cloud, and industrial environments, and develops a sense of 'self' for every user and device. It spots subtle deviations indicative of a cyber-threat, enabling the detection of malware attacks launched with tactics that have never been seen before. The AI constantly learns the patterns of an organization's users and devices, and is capable of discerning the subtle indicators of a genuine threat. Confiar also utilized Darktrace's Cyber AI Analyst, which automatically investigates sophisticated threats and provides critical details to the security team in seconds. Additionally, Confiar benefited from Darktrace's Proactive Threat Notification (PTN) service, which provides an additional layer of protection by sending alerts when incidents indicative of a serious emerging attack are identified.
