Statement regarding LockBit claims

Earlier this morning we became aware of tweets from LockBit, the cyber-criminal gang, claiming that they had compromised Darktrace’s internal security systems and had accessed our data. Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.

Three new executive team members appointed, further strengthening and deepening Darktrace’s management capabilities

Two long-standing executives to step down

Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security artificial intelligence, today announces several changes to its executive management team as it seeks to bring in further leadership capabilities in key areas including human resources and corporate affairs.

Two new executives have joined the Darktrace team. David Walden joins as Chief People Officer and Carolyn Esser joins as Chief Corporate Affairs Officer. David is responsible for global talent attraction, engagement and performance management. David has driven successful people strategies at multinational companies, including Capital One, AOL, T. Rowe Price, and Etsy. Carolyn is responsible for Darktrace’s internal and external communications strategies. Carolyn joins Darktrace from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation where she was Deputy Director, Communications, Europe, Middle East and East Asia. Prior to that, Carolyn was Global Communications Director at Logica, the UK technology and business services company.

Due dirigenti di lunga data lasciano l'azienda dopo aver dato per anni un contributo significativo a Darktrace. Emily Orton ha lasciato il suo ruolo di Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) all'inizio di luglio. In seguito alla partenza di Emily, le funzioni di marketing sono state riorganizzate per riferire a Carolyn Esser e Nicole Eagan, Chief Strategy and AI Officer. Dave Palmer, Chief Product Officer (CPO), lascerà Darktrace alla fine di agosto per unirsi a 1011 Venture Capital, investitore di lunga data di Darktrace , in qualità di General Partner. Una volta lasciata l'azienda, Dave entrerà a far parte del Consiglio consultivo di Darktrace, dove continuerà ad aggiornare l'organizzazione sulle principali tendenze del settore. Dave sarà sostituito da Max Heinemeyer, attualmente vicepresidente di Darktrace per l'innovazione informatica, che entrerà a far parte del Comitato Esecutivo in qualità di CPO.

Commentando questi cambiamenti, Poppy Gustafsson OBE, Amministratore Delegato di Darktrace, ha dichiarato: "Non è un caso che il nostro Paese abbia un'immagine di questo tipo:

Sia Dave che Emily hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella crescita di Darktrace fino a farla diventare l'azienda di sicurezza informatica innovativa e di livello mondiale che è oggi. Il loro contributo all'azienda è stato immenso e siamo molto grati per la loro leadership durante tutti questi anni in cui sono stati con noi. Auguriamo loro ogni successo nelle loro nuove imprese e sono entusiasta che Dave rimanga nella famiglia di Darktrace con il suo ruolo nel nostro Consiglio consultivo.

Sono lieta di dare il benvenuto a Max, Carolyn e David nel nostro Comitato Esecutivo, mentre continuiamo a rafforzare e approfondire le nostre capacità di leadership in una serie di aree fondamentali."
