“ Central to the success of The Well is a world-class tenant experience ,” said George Ho , Vice President of Informational Technology at RioCan . “ The best thing about Darktrace ’ s AI is that it learns every detail of both our information and Operational Technology so that we can minimise any disruptions to our normal business operations in the event of a cybersecurity incident .
