Microsoft and Darktrace Partnership Extends Autonomous Cyber Defense Across the Cloud

Darktrace, a leading autonomous cyber security AI company, announced that it has joined forces with software giant Microsoft. The partnership provides mutual customers with enterprise scale, self-learning AI that detects and autonomously responds to cyber-threats.

This collaboration amplifies Darktrace’s self-learning artificial intelligence for cyber security within Microsoft environments, including Microsoft 365 and cloud applications like Azure Sentinel. As organizations and workforces across the globe increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure and virtual collaboration tools, the partnership ensures that attacks can be thwarted by Microsoft’s solutions together with Darktrace’s Autonomous Cyber AI technology.
