Darktrace appears in 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for email security

Darktrace said Darktrace / EMAIL appeared in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms, a development the company framed as recognition of the product’s role in protecting messaging environments.

Gartner Peer Insights listed 97 products in the Event Stream Processing (ESP) market as of November 2025, and Gartner evaluated 14 vendors for the 2025 Magic Quadrant. Darktrace / EMAIL was reported to be trusted by over 6,000 organizations and received a 4.8 out of 5 overall rating from 340 verified Gartner Peer Insights reviews as of November 2025, and it was named a Customers’ Choice in July 2025.

Darktrace described Darktrace / EMAIL as delivering business-centric behavioral anomaly detection across inbound, outbound, and lateral communications in both email and Microsoft Teams. It continuously learned what “normal” looked like for each user, mailbox and organization, and it identified threats such as Business Email Compromise (BEC), ransomware, phishing, and supply-chain attacks without relying on traditional rules and signatures. The product could take targeted actions including rewriting links, removing attachments, unspoofing senders, or moving messages to junk.

Gartner recognition extended across other areas of the Darktrace ActiveAI Security Platform, with placements in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response (NDR) and the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Cyber-Physical Systems Protection Platforms; Gartner Peer Insights also listed Darktrace as the only Customer’s Choice Vendor in the 2025 Peer Insights for NDR and as the only Visionary in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Darktrace reported platform support from over 2,300 employees and protection for nearly 10,000 customers.

“Darktrace / EMAIL provides precise targeting of cyber anomalies and threats while giving administrators an intelligent analysis of email flow. Darktrace does this all while simultaneously removing cyber-threats such as phishing links, MIM attacks, infected attachments, spam, and more,” said Stephen Shaw, IT Manager at Satake USA Inc., an agricultural equipment manufacturer.

Darktrace said it believed the recognition validated its business-centric, AI-native approach and the value it delivered to security teams facing advanced, never-before-seen attacks.
