Sophos' MTR and Rapid Response services business has expanded rapidly, establishing Sophos as one of the largest and fastest-growing MDR providers in the world, with more than 5,000 active customers.

Braintrace's NDR technology will support Sophos' MTR and Rapid Response analysts and Extended Detection and Response customers through integration into the Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem, which underpins all Sophos products and services.

"We're particularly excited that Braintrace built this technology specifically to provide better security outcomes to their Managed Detection and Response customers. It's hard to beat the effectiveness of solutions built by teams of skilled practitioners and developers to solve real world cybersecurity problems."

Since Braintrace built its NDR technology specifically for predictive, passive monitoring, its engine also provides intelligent network packet capture that IT security administrators and threat hunters can use as supporting evidence during investigations.

"NDR is critical to successful threat hunting. Braintrace's competitive differentiation is its unique NDR technology that our MDR analysts leveraged for finding, interrupting and remediating cyberattacks," said Bret Laughlin, CEO and co-founder of Braintrace.

"With our own NDR technology, the team responds faster and more accurately because of the real-time, automated visibility and threat verification they have into encrypted traffic. We built Braintrace's NDR technology from the ground up for detection and now, with Sophos, it will fit into a complete system to provide cross-product detection and response across a multi-vendor ecosystem."
