Darktrace utilizes AI and machine learning for safeguarding businesses from email threats, including phishing and targeted attacks. However, while Darktrace is effective at detecting and remediating a lot of malicious emails, it lacks a crucial element to deal with sophisticated, socially engineered attacks it cannot detect. The Darktrace platform lacks the power of human insights to combat the most advanced email attacks. 

Email Security in the 21st Century: Time for an Upgrade

The world of email security has undergone a massive transformation in the past two decades. Traditional secure email gateways (SEGs) are no longer adequate for today's complex threat landscape. Modern businesses require next-generation solutions employing AI, machine learning, and automation to counter advanced threats, such as business email compromise, account takeover, and VIP impersonation.
