Modern Threats | Darktrace and The Missing Link

Q: Why aren’t traditional Secure Email Gateways enough anymore?

Traditional SEGs were designed to block known threats using signatures and rules. Today’s attackers use AI to create novel phishing emails that look legitimate and bypass these older defences. Modern AI-led solutions adapt in real time to detect threats SEGs simply miss.

Q: Will moving away from my SEG disrupt my business?

No. Migration can be done with minimal impact. Our team at The Missing Link has extensive experience helping organisations transition smoothly while ensuring continuous protection throughout the process.

Q: How quickly can AI-led security detect and respond to threats?

Darktrace/EMAIL can detect compromise in just one day, reduce false positives by 60%, and cut response times by up to 13 days compared with traditional solutions.
