Blue Turtle offers innovative solution for emerging cyber threats with Darktrace partnership

Blue Turtle Technologies, a leading security solutions provider, and Darktrace, the leader in Enterprise Immune System technology, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver Darktrace's award-winning cyber defence technology to the South African market.

Acknowledged for its expertise in providing best-in-class technology management solutions, Blue Turtle offers carefully selected world-leading products to enhance the performance and efficiency of its customers' digital environment. Partnering with Darktrace allows it to strengthen its cyber security defence platform and deliver the self-learning Enterprise Immune System to its customers, enabling them to detect advanced cyber threats that pass undetected through traditional perimeter defence solutions.

Darktrace's innovative technology is based on unsupervised machine learning and mathematics developed at the University of Cambridge. The Enterprise Immune System monitors large volumes of data within networks on a 24/7 basis and 'learns' the pattern of life for every device, individual user and network. In achieving this understanding of an organisation's 'self', Darktrace can spot new, emerging behaviours that fall outside this pattern of normality. Users benefit from an unparalleled visibility of their network, are able to address any rising issues early and take proactive measures to mitigate the risk.

"As disruptive cyber attacks are becoming more effective at breaching security defences, our partnership with Darktrace can provide great benefits to the southern Africa market. Darktrace's immune system approach assists large organisations and government bodies in detecting behavioural anomalies in real-time, allowing organisations to take timely action," said Ronnie Koch, Infrastructure Security Architect at Blue Turtle. "By detecting them earlier, they are able to protect themselves against advanced attacks and data compromises from within the network."

"We are delighted to be working with Blue Turtle and extend the Enterprise Immune System to the South African market," said Nick Trim, Managing Director EMEA at Darktrace. "Darktrace's self-learning technology and unique approach to tackling sophisticated cyber threats helps organisations build resilient defence strategies and protect their reputation in an increasingly complex threat landscape."
