Self-Learning AI is Darktrace's flagship technology, and powers its entire range of cyber security products. Developed in Cambridge, the technology works by learning the normal 'pattern of life' of an organization, including its users, devices and all digital environments, and uses this understanding to identify and respond to sophisticated threats in real time, before the security team are able to address the situation.

"A cyber-attack against PIH could cause massive disruption to our global client operations, and even sabotage the country's efforts to effectively prepare for the FIFA World Cup," commented Jasim Abdul Rahman, Group Chief Information Officer at Power International Holding. "With Autonomous Response technology, we can rest assured that our employees and customers are protected against increasingly targeted, fast-moving attacks, and critically, that disruption to business operations is avoided."
