Managed Threat Response

Others Stop at Notification.
We Take Action.

24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response delivered by an expert team as a fully-managed service

Threat Notification Isn’t the Solution – It’s a Starting Point

Other managed detection and response (MDR) services simply notify you of attacks or suspicious events. Then it’s up to you to manage things from there.

With Sophos MTR, your organization is backed by an elite team of threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.

“Clients with successful SOCs put the premium on people rather than process and technology. People and process overshadow technology as predictors for SOC success or failure.”

Gartner, “How to Plan, Design, Operate and Evolve a SOC” (2018)
