Cyber-attackers work 24/7 … but what about your security team?

Of course, you know your team is dedicated, and if you come under attack, they'll put in the hours to save the day.

If you and your team are constantly firefighting, how do you find the time to remediate the damage done, never mind ensure your intelligence, tools and skill sets are up to date, ready for the next attack? Because there will be one.

It's no surprise then that companies are increasingly turning to Managed Detection and Response services to bolster their internal cyber-sec resources.

Recruiting skilled security staff is challenging, and once you do it's a constant juggling act splitting their time between reactive response, actively hunting for threats, and ensuring skills are kept up to date.

Which means it makes sense to leverage a pool of expertise with state of the art tooling, and the latest in threat intelligence, to monitor your systems and respond to attacks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Sophos of course knows a thing or two about cyber-security, and its guide will take you through the nuts and bolts that make up MDR. But it also talks you through the nuances of choosing an MDR partner whether that's establishing precisely how proactive a service will be, or whether the tools you'll need to underpin the service are included in the overall price.
