Dark Trace
Automate your Cybersecurity with Self-Learning AI
As a Premier Darktrace partner, SMT helps your organization stay ahead of cyber threats with self-learning AI. Darktrace continuously learns from data streams in your network and email traffic, detects anomalous behavior in real time, and automatically responds to threats faster and better than any human can. Darktrace is a leader in the Gartner NDR Magic Quadrant. We ensure that the technology isn't just smart, but also works smart: pragmatic, transparent, and with immediate results for your security objectives and requirements.
Why SMT?
We believe that technology is only valuable if it contributes to what you truly want to achieve. That's why we don't start with the platform, but with your risks, goals, and requirements.
Based on this question, we build a solution together that does exactly what is needed, such as:
- Real-time detection of (unknown) threats
- Autonomous response that immediately limits damage
- Proactive vulnerability analysis to prevent incidents
- Integration with existing applications and SIEM
We support clients with both the implementation and strategic application of Darktrace. We achieve this with the following Darktrace modules, among others:
What we do with Dark Trace
- Detects abnormal email behavior
- Blocks advanced phishing and BEC
- Complementary to Microsoft Defender
Network
- Combines network data and telemetry data
- AI-driven detection of abnormal patterns
- Apply AI-driven response if desired
Attack Service Management
- Continuous exposure assessment.
- Detects shadow IT and misconfigurations.
- Dark web monitoring for leaked credentials, among other things
Cloud & Identity
- AI monitoring for cloud and identities.
- Modules for prevention and recovery.
Integration & SOC support
- Connections with SIEM, SOAR and existing SOC processes
- Support for hybrid, cloud and OT environments

Frequently asked questions
Item #1
Implementing Darktrace naturally requires an investment. SMT supports organizations in developing a clear business case, so they can determine whether the solution is financially and organizationally feasible and aligns with the organization's scale and ambitions.
Item #1
Autonomous Response is highly effective and secure, provided it's implemented in phases. SMT implements this with granular policies, whitelisting, and continuous tuning and governance, minimizing operational risks.
Item #1
The initial learning period for Darktrace AI is approximately one month on average. Afterward, demonstrable insights and results are immediately visible, reinforced by the guidance and optimization provided by SMT.
Item #1
Yes. Darktrace is a market leader and recognized as leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for NDR. The technology is proven and deployed globally by more than 10.000 organizations, justifying the investment.
Item #1
Darktrace is designed with an open architecture and supports integration with virtually all common IT and security tools. SMT ensures seamless integration within existing infrastructure and processes.
Item #1
Darktrace is easy to test via a Proof of Value And the initial implementation is relatively quick and straightforward. To get the most out of the platform, we recommend periodic evaluations with SMT focused on tuning and optimization.
Item #1
Darktrace can, in principle, be managed independently by clients. However, in practice, organizations often require support with tuning and optimization. SMT fulfills an advisory and executive role in this process to continuously increase effectiveness.
Item #1
SMT supports customers with both the implementation and ongoing optimization of Darktrace. We do this in close collaboration with Darktrace's engineering and support teams, leveraging our practical experience to optimally tailor the solution to the customer's environment.
Item #1
In addition to the Darktrace license, SMT provides additional value in the form of advice, implementation, and support. We maintain close contact with Darktrace and ensure transparent, market-compliant contracts tailored to customer needs.
Item #1
SMT is the last-mile partner of Darktrace in the Netherlands. We have in-depth expertise in advising organizations, implementing the Darktrace solution, and structurally optimizing it, ensuring customers maximize their return on the technology.
Item #1
Darktrace distinguishes itself by not relying on static rules or manual maintenance. It's a self-learning AI solution that first learns the normal behavior in your IT environment. Once a baseline has been established, Darktrace automatically detects anomalies—even unknown or subtle threats that traditional systems might miss. This adds a proactive layer to your security stack, without the need for constant manual rule maintenance.
Item #1
Darktrace's strength lies in its speed and simplicity: the baseline measurement is usually completed within a few days. You'll see value within one to two weeks—think insights into risk areas, suspicious patterns, or vulnerable processes. Enable Autonomous Response, and Darktrace can immediately begin automatically intervening when needed. No lengthy implementation processes: you quickly gain control of your security.
Item #1
With Darktrace, you choose "set and forget" security—the platform learns and adapts automatically. Thanks to its self-learning AI, you rarely need to manually add or maintain rules. Darktrace automatically prioritizes real threats and, if configured, can respond independently to incidents. This way, you maintain control over security without your team constantly managing it.
