Use Cases
Darktrace
- → Stop data exfiltration by throttling unusual transfers during off hours while analysts verify context
- → Contain suspected account takeover by limiting risky actions until users reauthenticate and reset credentials
- → Detect lateral movement by correlating rare service to service authentications across segmentation zones
- → Spot business email compromise by modeling sender behavior and unusual financial requests before funds are moved
- → Protect OT networks by learning normal PLC and HMI patterns then flagging deviations without brittle rules
- → Accelerate incident investigations by replaying correlated timelines that show first cause and affected entities
Lakera Guard
- → Protect a public chatbot from injection and jailbreak attempts
- → Shield agents that browse tools and APIs from exfiltration
- → Meet compliance by logging and reporting blocked risks
- → Tune policies to reduce false positives in key paths
- → Create allow lists for approved actions or domains
- → Alert security teams with webhooks when threats spike
