A private utility management company with a one-person security team adopted Darktrace to unify IT and OT defences, replacing a fragmented mix of tools that hampered threat detection and response. According to The Darktrace Community, the deployment used Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform™ across IT, OT, email, cloud and endpoints, including Darktrace / EMAIL, / IDENTITY, / NETWORK, / OT, and Darktrace Cyber AI Analyst, delivering real-time protection without the overhead of a large SOC.

In under a month, the company saved 264 analyst hours on investigations and autonomously resolved 92% of 1,470 total investigations, with false positives reduced to single digits per day. The VP of IT praised Autonomous Response as a game changer, noting it stops attacks in real time and can be tuned for stronger action during off hours.

Rollout took less than a week and expanded from OT-only licensing to a holistic platform that also supports ISO and SEC compliance, providing a single pane of glass for holistic visibility and resilience across IT, OT, cloud, email and endpoint environments.
