Threats Don't Wait. Neither Should Your Response.
Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is not just an alert system. It is a team of human security experts at the Sophos Operations Centre who hunt for threats on your network 24/7 and respond to incidents when they occur. When a threat is detected, your incident response plan starts immediately, not after someone reads an email alert tomorrow morning.
The difference: Traditional SIEM systems and firewalls send you alerts. You have to decide what to do. Sophos MDR sends you a response. Threats are contained before they spread.
What Sophos MDR Does
Threat Hunting: The MDR team proactively searches for attackers who have avoided automated detection. Lateral movement, data exfiltration, backdoor installation.
Alert Triage: Every alert is reviewed by a human analyst, not a robot. False positives are filtered out. Real threats get escalated immediately.
Incident Response: When a threat is confirmed, the MDR team responds. Isolate the affected device. Collect evidence. Stop the attacker from spreading.
Threat Intelligence: Sophos shares intelligence from millions of endpoints globally. Your network benefits from threat data collected worldwide.
Forensic Analysis: If a breach occurs, the MDR team preserves and analyses evidence for your legal and insurance teams.
How Sentire Coordinates MDR
Deployment: We roll out the Sophos MDR agent to all endpoints. Silent, no disruption.
Incident Coordination: When the MDR team detects a threat, they notify Sentire. We act as the bridge between Sophos MDR and your business, ensuring clear communication and fast action.
Post-Incident: We conduct a post-mortem. How did the attacker get in. What needs to change to prevent it next time. Root cause fixes, not just patching symptoms.
Sophos Managed Detection and Response works best when combined with endpoint protection, firewall management, and email security. Prevention stops most attacks. Detection catches what gets through. Response limits the damage.
Do you have a 24/7 incident response team? Most small and mid-market businesses do not. Sophos MDR gives you access to one, at a fraction of the cost of hiring security experts full-time. Response time matters when seconds equal lost data.
