Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and constantly changing, making it harder for defenders to keep up.
Sophos is responding to this reality, offering Sophos Managed Risk, a service that maps and manages attack surface vulnerabilities. The new service combines industry-leading Tenable technology with Sophos' dedicated team of threat hunters and incident responders.
Sophos Managed Risk empowers MSPs to pinpoint vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and compliance gaps that cyberattackers can exploit to gain a foothold in a system. Once this happens, attackers either sell the beach head on the dark web to other criminals looking for access or use it themselves to carry out ransomware, data breaches, spying and more. To reduce the risk of this initial stage of an attack, MSPs and their customers, can leverage Sophos Managed Risk.
It’s a Dangerous Cyber World
Why is managing risk important? Over 26,000 new vulnerabilities were discovered last year, posing a challenge for organizations and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). They must race to keep up with evolving cyber attacks and stay abreast of the latest cybersecurity advances. This challenge is compounded by the global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, complicating efforts to provide adequate protection for their clients.
The lack of in-house expertise can impede MSPs from proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they are exploited. To address these multifaceted challenges, MSPs need to look outside their own walls to bolster their security defenses and expand their business through proactive management services that can thwart potential attacks.
A Stronger Case for Sophos MDR
An important advantage of incorporating Sophos Managed Risk into a MSP's cybersecurity toolkit is its seamless integration with the Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. By combining these two services, MSPs can establish a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that addresses both proactive risk evaluation and reactive threat detection and response. This multi-layered approach helps MSPs pinpoint potential security vulnerabilities and react promptly to active attacks in real time, minimizing potentially damaging cybersecurity incidents.
MSPs can also streamline their security operations, strengthen their incident response capabilities, and increase the value of their contracts. By utilizing the valuable data insights from these services, MSPs can improve their understanding of their client's security posture, prioritize security investments, and customize cybersecurity strategies to align with the latest attacker techniques.
