Boardriders upgrades security with AI

Sports retail group Boardriders is using AI to support its security team

Boardriders relies on data centres, cloud networks, and endpoint devices for operations and communications. To support its security team, Boardriders initially selected Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System three years ago to assist with detecting novel and sophisticated cyber-threats, including ransomware, across its digital environment.

Since then, the company has expanded its use of Darktrace’s products to include Darktrace’s Autonomous Response capabilities for network.

Powered by Self-Learning AI, Antigena makes micro-decisions to halt malicious activity in real-time based on developing an understanding of the everyday operations of each unique business.

Visibility

The technology is optimised to enforce ‘normal,’ taking measured actions to interrupt cyber-threats anywhere data flows without disrupting business operations.

Darktrace Antigena also offers Boardriders unparalleled visibility over their entire digital environment through integrations with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Defender.

Willem Lock, head of cybersecurity at Boardriders, said: “Darktrace supports our existing team and systems to protect our business around the clock, adding strength to combat cyber-threats and deliver products to our customers worldwide.”
