Achieved Self-learning Protection of Email Accounts and Users

Guardsman Group and its subsidiaries are leaders in security, with clients across all industries around the Caribbean. It provides security equipment, personnel, and systems for some of the most prominent businesses in the region.

One of the Guardsman's offices experienced an incident that saw all communications at that location affected. The team found that legacy security tools did not provide enough protection, with it taking hours to identify the source of the issue. At this point, Guardsman knew it needed a dynamic solution that could proactively identify threats like these.

Guardsman Group

Guardsman Group, with headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica, has been providing security systems and personnel for private and public organizations in the Caribbean for over 40 years. It has 26 subsidiaries and affiliated companies and over 8,000 employees and subcontractors.‍

Guardsman implemented the Darktrace Immune System platform, including Darktrace Antigena, across its digital infrastructure. Using unsupervised machine learning to understand the organization's unique digital DNA, the technology protects Guardsman's digital assets and sensitive data, autonomously responding to machine-speed attacks such as ransomware before damage can be done.

The team finds that while their email provider has standard threat protection that does a good job with spam and other known threats, they have an ultimate last line of defense in Darktrace's Antigena Email.
