What is cloud security and what does it cover?

Cloud security protects the full stack of modern cloud environments, including workloads, containers, networks, identities, and applications. A comprehensive cloud security approach combines threat detection and response, identity protection, network security, and threat intelligence into a unified system that covers every layer of your cloud estate.

How does Sophos protect cloud workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle OCI?

Sophos delivers AI-native cloud workload protection across all four major cloud platforms, ingesting rich telemetry from control planes, VPC flow logs, and audit logs alongside native security findings from services like Amazon GuardDuty and Google Security Command Center. Signals are correlated in a central data lake and fed into a unified XDR detection and response workflow.

What is XDR and why does it matter for cloud security?

Extended detection and response (XDR) unifies signals from cloud workloads, endpoints, networks, and identities into a single detection and investigation workflow. For cloud security teams, XDR means no more switching between tools. Every threat, from cloud platform alert to resolved incident, is handled in one place.

What is the difference between XDR and MDR for cloud security?

Sophos XDR is a self-managed detection and response platform giving your team unified visibility across your entire cloud estate. Sophos MDR is a fully managed service where an Agentic SOC provides 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and response on your behalf, resolving 52% of cases end-to-end by AI in an average of 89 seconds.

How does Sophos protect cloud identities?

Sophos ITDR monitors Microsoft Entra ID for risks, misconfigurations, credential abuse, and suspicious behaviors, extending that visibility across your entire multi-cloud estate via federated identity coverage. Identity signals feed directly into Sophos XDR and Sophos MDR alongside cloud, network, and endpoint data

How does Sophos complement cloud platform security tools like Amazon GuardDuty?

Cloud platform security tools generate valuable alerts, but acting on them requires context. Sophos ingests native findings from native services like Amazon GuardDuty and Google Security Command Center, enriching them with endpoint, identity, and network signals to power faster, more accurate detections and investigations.

What cloud network security does Sophos provide?

Sophos delivers comprehensive cloud network security from the edge to deep inside your environment. Next-gen cloud firewall provides perimeter protection with AI-powered zero-day threat detection, while Sophos NDR uses behavioral analytics and machine learning to uncover threats deep in the network that firewalls and endpoints can't see, with all network signals feeding into the same XDR workflows.

What is Next-Gen SIEM and how does it extend cloud security?

Next-Gen SIEM extends XDR capabilities with multi-year data retention and audit and compliance readiness across your cloud estate. Where XDR focuses on active detection and response, SIEM provides the historical depth needed for compliance reporting and long-term investigations, fully integrated into your existing workflows.

How does Sophos use AI to enhance cloud security?

Sophos applies AI across every layer of its cloud security system, from AI-powered threat detection and prioritization in XDR, to deep learning and behavioral analytics in NDR, to autonomous triage and investigation in the Sophos MDR Agentic SOC. AI resolves 52% of MDR cases end-to-end in seconds, while AI tools and assistants help security teams accelerate analysis and response.

How can developers embed threat intelligence into cloud applications?

Sophos Intelix provides world-class threat intelligence via a simple REST API, enabling developers to embed automated threat lookups, anti-malware scanning, and high-confidence threat verdicts into serverless and custom cloud applications.

Protect identities — your new cloud perimeter

67% of attacks trace back to a compromised identity (Sophos Active Adversary Report, 2026). Many organizations use Entra ID to federate access across cloud platforms and third-party solutions, making it a critical attack surface. Sophos ITDR monitors for risks, misconfigurations, and suspicious behaviors, extending identity visibility across your entire multi-cloud estate.

Dark web credential intelligence surfaces compromised accounts before attackers use them.
AI-driven scoring identifies and prioritizes identity risks across your environment.
Federated identity coverage extends protection across cloud platforms and third-party solutions.
Identity signals feed directly into the Sophos XDR workflow alongside cloud, network, and endpoint events.

Turn cloud platform alerts into resolved threats

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI provide built-in security tools and services — but generating alerts is only half the battle. Sophos ingests rich telemetry data and alerts from native platform services, correlating them with signals from across your estate to add the context needed for fast, accurate investigation and response.

Rich telemetry from cloud control planes, VPC flow logs, and audit logs powers detections across your entire cloud estate.
Native findings from security services including Amazon GuardDuty and Google Security Command Center feed directly into Sophos XDR.
Cloud platform alerts are correlated with endpoint, identity, and network signals for richer, more accurate detections.
AI-prioritized detections cut through noise, while AI tools and assistants accelerate analysis.
Sophos MDR closes the loop. When a cloud platform alert triggers, our Agentic SOC responds on your behalf, around the clock.
