New Threat Hunting, Detection and Response Offering Powered by Machine Learning
\nand Expert Analysis to <\/em>Neutralize the Most Advanced Cybersecurity Threats<\/em><\/h2>\n

Sophos<\/a>\u00a0(LSE: SOPH), a global leader in\u00a0network and endpoint security<\/a>, today announced the availability of Sophos Managed Threat Response<\/a> (MTR), a fully managed threat hunting, detection and response service. The re-sellable service provides organizations with a dedicated 24\/7 security team to neutralize the most sophisticated and complex threats.<\/p>\n

These types of threats include active attackers leveraging\u00a0fileless attacks and administrator tools such as PowerShell to escalate privileges, exfiltrate data and spread laterally, as explained in the SophosLabs Uncut article on\u00a0Lemon_Duck PowerShell malware<\/a>. Attacks like these are difficult to detect since they involve an active adversary using legitimate tools for nefarious purposes, and Managed Threat Response helps eliminate this threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cCybercriminals are adapting\u00a0their methods and increasingly launching hybrid\u00a0attacks that combine automation with\u00a0interactive\u00a0human ingenuity to\u00a0more effectively\u00a0evade detection. Once they\u00a0gain a foothold, they\u2019ll employ\u00a0\u2018living off the land\u2019<\/a>\u00a0techniques and other deceptive methods\u00a0requiring human interaction to discover and disrupt\u00a0their attacks,\u201d said Joe Levy, chief technology officer at Sophos.\u00a0\u201cFor the most part,\u00a0other\u00a0MDR services simply notify customers of potential threats and then leave it up to them to manage things from there. Sophos MTR not only augments internal teams with additional threat intelligence, unparalleled product expertise, and around-the-clock coverage, but also gives customers the option of having a highly trained team of response experts take targeted actions on their behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built on Intercept X Advanced<\/a> with endpoint detection and response (EDR), Sophos MTR fuses machine learning with expert analysis for improved threat hunting and detection, deeper investigation of alerts, and targeted actions to eliminate threats. These innovative capabilities are based on Sophos\u2019 acquisitions of Rook Security<\/a> and DarkBytes<\/a> technology, and include:<\/p>\n
