Its roles close in a median of 31 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview
Darktrace is a British cybersecurity company founded in Cambridge in 2013 by mathematicians and former government intelligence staff, built on the idea that a network can be defended by learning its own normal behaviour rather than matching known attack signatures. Its Self-Learning AI builds a live model of how each user, device and workload usually behaves, flags deviations that no signature would catch, and can act autonomously to contain an intrusion in progress. The company listed in London in 2021 and was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2024 for around five billion dollars, and it protects networks, email, cloud and operational technology for thousands of organisations.

Products
Cyber AI Analyst
The Cyber AI Analyst automates the investigation stage, assembling alerts into a narrative incident report. It compresses work that would otherwise occupy human analysts for hours.
darktrace.com
Email
The email product defends against phishing and business email compromise using the same behavioural model. It judges messages against how a given sender and recipient normally interact.
darktrace.com
Autonomous Response
Autonomous Response contains an intrusion in progress by constraining the affected device or account to its normal behaviour. It acts in seconds without waiting for an analyst.
darktrace.com
Self-Learning AI
Self-Learning AI builds a live behavioural model of an organisation rather than matching known attack signatures. Deviations from that learned normal are what raise an alert.
darktrace.com
ActiveAI Security Platform
The platform unifies detection, investigation and autonomous response across network, cloud, email and operational technology. It is the umbrella product the company sells today.
