Compare Sophos to Arctic Wolf

Sophos X-Ops is a joint task force consisting of experts from various specialized security domains, including Threat Actor Monitoring, Detection Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, MDR Operations, Incident Response, and more.
Sophos X-Ops leverages the telemetry and experience of over 600,000 customers across industries, sizes, and areas of the world. This breadth and depth of visibility, enhanced by AI and other data systems, allows our team to respond faster and more accurately to threats. The result is better protection, faster detection, and more effective response—even to new, emerging attacks.

Containing threats is a starting point for response. Isolate a machine. Block a URL. Disable a user account. Sophos and Arctic Wolf both contain threats as a core part of MDR. But that’s as far as Arctic Wolf MDR goes. That leaves you exposed to risk (e.g., an attacker still in your environment) and having more work to do, such as removing malware or engaging an incident response provider.
With Sophos, our response experts focus on truly resolving the threat, not just containing it. T hey can get hands-on with your endpoints to remove threats and get your users back to work. If a major incident occurs, they can jump into action to analyze the root cause, understand what data was affected, and eliminate the attackers. Then they will document it and share a report so you know exactly what happened, its impact, and what was done to resolve it.

Sophos offers a full stack of deeply integrated endpoint, network, email, and identity security solutions. In fact, industry-leading endpoint security is included at no extra cost with Sophos MDR services. Save money and get the best protection with our patented ransomware protection, web filtering, application control, advanced threat protection, and more. Or use your own third-party security solutions and still benefit from Sophos’s 24x7x365 threat detection and response.
MDR from Sophos also includes a powerful XDR platform that works with both first- and third-party security tools. See every event and every detection. Keep an eye on what the MDR team is doing, work alongside them, or supplement their efforts with your own. Sophos provides capabilities that Arctic Wolf’s Aurora Platform doesn’t, like creating custom detections, performing threat hunts, and building your own response playbooks.
