Event summary
- Darktrace launched Darktrace / SECURE AI on February 3, 2026, to help enterprises monitor AI system behavior and mitigate risks.
- The solution provides real-time visibility into AI interactions, prompt language, and data access patterns across SaaS applications, AI agents, and shadow AI.
- Darktrace observed an average of 4,700 pages of documents in unusual data uploads to generative AI services over a five-month period.

The big picture
As enterprises rapidly adopt AI tools to boost productivity and competitiveness, traditional security controls are proving insufficient for managing dynamic, language-driven systems. Darktrace’s launch of SECURE AI reflects the growing need for real-time visibility and control over AI interactions, particularly as AI agents become more autonomous and integrated into critical business processes. The solution aims to address concerns about sensitive data exposure and regulatory risk, which are top priorities for cybersecurity professionals.
