Darktrace announced that Bluebird Group, has selected Darktrace AI to autonomously interrupt cyber-attacks. The company has over 2,000 employees and serves millions of passengers every month throughout Indonesia's major cities and tourism spots, as well as providing containers, charter buses and logistics services. As its services have become increasingly digitized through apps and online payment services, Bluebird sought a technology which could protect its digital estate in the face of a rising level of attacks against the sector.

Darktrace Antigena stood out to Bluebird when compared to other solutions because of its ability to autonomously stop in-progress attacks whilst allowing normal business operations. The artificial intelligence learns 'normal operations' for Bluebird, and from this not only detects anomalous activity but intelligently makes micro-decisions based on the unusual activity. The algorithms are outcome-driven and optimized to enforce normal business operations; interrupting emerging cyber-threats whilst allowing the business to function as normal even whilst under attack.

The technology uplifts the security team, defending against intellectual property theft and disruptive attacks like ransomware and supply chain attacks, allowing the team to focus on strategic business decisions. Darktrace saw a 33% increase in attacks across its customer base in APAC in 2021. 12% of incidents detected by Darktrace across the region in 2021 were in Singapore alone.

The transport sector was among those most targeted across Darktrace's customer base in APAC, as were financial services, manufacturing and the information and communications industries.
