## What the story says

The nonprofit uses Darktrace to protect its email and cloud-based apps, which it saw as the most at-risk entry points. Its IT team tuned alert thresholds and set Darktrace to respond to threats autonomously around the clock.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Darktrace and American Kidney Fund, not ours.

> Darktrace acts within the parameters set by the team, who have set it to act – under various conditions – independently and without the need for human oversight. This ensures the organization is protected around the clock, and saves the IT team labor and time that can then be reallocated to other projects.

> Darktrace’s AI algorithms are focused on one thing, and it’s your organization,
