Darktrace
Darktrace AI interrupts in-progress cyber-attacks in seconds, including ransomware, email phishing, and threats to cloud environments and critical infrastructure.

Coro and Darktrace are both terribly clever at spotting cyber threats before they turn into something deeply inconvenient, like a ransomware attack on a Friday afternoon. They both use AI, which means they can look very serious and intelligent while analyzing heaps of digital nonsense. Both promise to reduce the workload of already overworked security teams, which, in cybersecurity terms, is a bit like saying a bucket will make the Titanic more buoyant. They scan, they detect, they protect—though probably not from the existential dread of modern IT.

Coro, born in 2014 between the U.S. and Israel, is designed for small and mid-sized businesses, presumably the sort of people who don’t have an army of cybersecurity wizards on staff. It’s an all-in-one platform that does email, endpoint and cloud security, like a particularly paranoid butler tidying up everything in the digital house. It prides itself on being easy to use, possibly to the point where even the office’s least technical person might click a button and feel a brief moment of power. Also, it’s cheaper, which, in cybersecurity, is an unusual selling point unless you compare it to the cost of a catastrophic data breach.

Darktrace, meanwhile, emerged a year earlier in the UK, where it presumably drinks tea while pondering the nature of cyber anomalies. It’s built for large enterprises that have too many networks, too many devices and far too many ways for things to go horribly wrong. Its AI doesn’t just detect threats—it learns, adapts and possibly contemplates world domination if left unsupervised. It secures everything from office networks to industrial control systems, making it ideal for companies that own things like power grids or very large, important buttons. It’s powerful, sophisticated and requires actual security expertise to set up—so, not the sort of thing you install between coffee breaks.
