@GossiTheDog do you (or anyone else reading this) have some more context or info why Darktrace is not great? Did someone make a comparison?
I see people telling the world Darktrace is bad, but haven’t found the evidence backing that up. I would love to link to something else than a Mastodon thread from rando’s.

@jtig@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social As I vaguely recall, their company and former execs were implicated in fraud. Here's an older article. I think they just barely pulled off an acquittal before Lunch ended up dying aboard his sailing yacht Bayesian in that storm a couple years ago. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/07/darktrace-future-clouded-by-concerns-over-culture-and-case That and a lot of the commentary I've seen suggested they're big on marketing but often fail to deliver on results. Reviews seem mixed. I have no personal experience with them, but there's enough shadiness surrounding them that I'd be very reluctant to get in bed with them.
