Darktrace / EMAIL vs Sweet Security

Darktrace / EMAIL is a paid cloud security product that uses behavioral AI to identify and stop phishing, business email compromise, impersonation, and social-engineering threats. It learns an organization’s communication patterns and detects suspicious behavior without relying on known attack signatures. Responses can range from tagging messages to full quarantine. Coverage includes inbound, outbound, and lateral mail, plus account-based and messaging attacks. Data-loss prevention analyzes behavior and message content for sensitive information in outbound email, including unlabeled data. Darktrace also describes behavioral protection for Microsoft Teams chats. Deployment can use API-only or API plus journaling without disrupting mail flow. The product integrates with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Exchange and is hosted on Microsoft Azure; listed integrations include Google Workspace, Azure Sentinel, Elastic Security, ReliaQuest, and Splunk. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial.
