Darktrace has announced a new upgrade to its Darktrace/Email product with enhanced features that defend organizations from evolving cyberthreats including generative AI business email compromise (BEC) and novel social engineering attacks. Among the new capabilities are an AI-employee feedback loop; account takeover protection; insights from endpoint, network, and cloud; and behavioral detections of misdirected emails, the vendor said. The upgrade comes amid growing concern about the ability of generative AI – such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) – to enhance phishing email attacks and provide an avenue for threat actors to craft more sophisticated and targeted campaigns at speed and scale.
