Darktrace opens office in India

Darktrace, the enterprise immune system technology provider, is opening offices in India, in Mumbai and Bangalore. “As a pioneering British technology company, we are very excited to be developing our business in a booming Indian market,” said Sanjay Aurora, Managing Director, Darktrace APAC. “Cyber security is critical for India to continue its sustained economic growth. Darktrace’s ‘immune system’ is well-positioned to help companies understand and defend their digital environments, thanks to its unique, self-learning approach.”

Darktrace’s technology, powered by mathematics and machine learning developed at the University of Cambridge, detects subtle changes in behaviour within computer networks. Unlike traditional approaches, Darktrace’s ‘immune system’ monitors network traffic in real-time, without requiring prior knowledge or rules, allowing companies to spot the early indicators of external and insider threats, before a crisis occurs.

With more than 200 employees – a headcount that has tripled in the past year – and 18 global offices including in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Korea and Singapore, Darktrace is expanding internationally at an exponential rate. Since the opening of Darktrace’s regional headquarters in Singapore in March 2015 and the company’s Japan office launch in July 2015, more than 80 organisations are currently deploying Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System appliance across the Asia-Pacific region.

Darktrace has deployed its self-learning technology to more than 250 organisations across a number of industries, including financial services, professional services, energy, pharmaceutical and manufacturing.
