Samsung SDS agreement with Darktrace

Homeland September 19, 2016

Darktrace, a UK provider of enterprise cyber threat defence software, has announced that Samsung SDS, the global IT services company, has become a regional partner. This follows the company’s recent investment in Darktrace.

In addition to being a reseller and distributor of Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System technology, the two companies will work together to develop cyber security solutions for Internet of Things technologies, including connected devices.

Samsung SDS’s agreement with Darktrace strengthens the relationship between the two companies and will speed up the roll-out of Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System technology. Cyber security threats are on the rise globally, and as attacks become more sophisticated, it is obvious that legacy approaches to the problem are not working. Darktrace uses advanced mathematics and has adopted a machine-learning approach based on the human immune system to meet the challenge of detecting cyber threats before they can have a crippling effect.

Named ‘Best Security Company of the Year’ 2016, Darktrace is capable of identifying new, emerging threats within computer networks in real time including insider attacks, ransomware, machine-based attacks and unknown threat scenarios.

Darktrace CEO Nicole Eagan said: “Samsung is one of the world’s leading technology companies, and we are thrilled to be collaborating with them on developing an approach to securing next-generation technologies such as connected devices. As we seek to extend our presence in Asia, Samsung’s support will be valuable.”
