Sophos MDR Complete

Description

What is Sophos MDR Complete?

Sophos MDR Complete is a fully managed cybersecurity service that constantly scans and monitors an organization’s security landscape with an option for Sophos security analysts to explore and initiate a response to identified cyber threats. The service integrates artificial intelligence, global threat intelligence, sophisticated analytics, and skilled incident responders to minimize the time from threat detection to threat containment.

Sophos MDR Complete goes beyond just alerting to authorizing response actions like isolating compromised devices, disrupting attacker activity, and containing threats before they can spread throughout the organisation.

Key Features of Sophos MDR Complete

24/7 Security Operations Center

Sophos MDR Complete features continuous monitoring by skilled cybersecurity experts who review alerts, confirm threats, and ensure visibility into your security environment at all hours.

Active Threat Response

Sophos’ analysts can then execute pre-defined responses for your organisation if a confirmed cyberattack is detected. This can help to prevent attacks earlier and minimise the use of internal security services at critical times.

Expert Threat Hunting

In addition to monitoring alerts, Sophos analysts proactively search for hidden threats, suspicious behavior, attacker persistence techniques, and indicators of compromise that automated tools may overlook.

AI-Powered Detection

Sophos combines artificial intelligence, behavioral analytics, machine learning, and global threat intelligence to identify ransomware, malware, account compromise, insider threats, and advanced attack techniques.

Integration with Sophos and Third-Party Security Tools

MDR Complete can ingest telemetry from Sophos products or other supported third-party endpoint, firewall, identity, email, and cloud security solutions, giving IT security teams greater visibility of the IT environment.

Detailed Incident Reporting

Organizations receive detailed reports of incidents to understand the incident, the way the attack was detected, the steps taken in response, and what can be done to improve security in the future.

Centralized Security Management

Security alerts, incidents, investigations, and response activities are managed through Sophos Central, allowing administrators to maintain complete visibility from a single cloud-based console.

How Sophos MDR Complete Works

Sophos MDR Complete continuously collects security telemetry from endpoints, firewalls, cloud workloads, servers, identities, email systems, and other connected security technologies. This information is analyzed by AI and sophisticated analytics tools in real-time to detect any unusual activity that could signal a cyberattack.

Sophos’ threat analysts conduct thorough investigations when potential threats are identified to understand the extent, severity, and impact of the incident. Where malicious activity is detected, response actions can be taken immediately to limit the spread of compromised systems, isolate endpoints, and activities of the attacker to minimize the potential for additional damage.

Customers are constantly communicated with during the investigation, receive updates on incidents, recommendations for response, and receive comprehensive reporting for both the operational recovery of the incident and future protection against cybersecurity.
