Case Study: NCG strengthens cyber defenses and cuts investigation times with Darktrace AI

NCG resolves 97% of potential incidents autonomously with Darktrace

NCG, a UK-based education provider, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to its complex, fragmented IT environment resulting from multiple mergers. With one dedicated security lead, visibility gaps across 16 domains and legacy systems meant threat investigations could take weeks, placing enormous pressure on the lean team and increasing risk in a rising threat landscape. To address this, NCG selected the Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform for its AI-driven autonomous capabilities.

The implementation of Darktrace provided immediate, unified visibility and autonomous threat investigation and response. The solution drastically reduced manual workload, cutting investigation times from weeks to minutes and autonomously resolving 97% of potential incidents. For NCG, Darktrace saved over 15,000 analyst hours, stopped attacks before they reached users, and provided the executive team with the evidence needed to transform security into a strategic priority.
