Regulated Threat Response Service Sophos Launches
Posted On Nov 28, 2020In order to neutralize the most advanced cybersecurity threats, new threat hunting, identification and response offerings powered by machine learning and expert analysis
The availability of Sophos Controlled Threat Response (MTR), a professionally managed threat hunting, identification, and response service, has been announced by a global leader in network and endpoint security. To neutralize the most advanced and dynamic threats, the re-sellable service provides companies with a dedicated 24/7 security team.
As described in the SophosLabs Uncut article on Lemon Duck PowerShell malware, these forms of threats involve aggressive attackers exploiting fileless attacks and administrator resources such as PowerShell to elevate privileges, exfiltrate data, and spread laterally. It is difficult to detect attacks like these because they include an aggressive opponent using legitimate resources for malicious purposes, and Sophos MTR helps remove this threat.
Cybercriminals are adapting their tactics and gradually launching hybrid attacks to more efficiently evade detection, mixing automation with interactive human creativity. They will use 'living off the ground' tactics and other manipulative strategies once they obtain a foothold, requiring human contact to uncover and stop their attacks,' said Joe Levy, chief technology officer at Sophos. Other MDR programs, for the most part, merely inform clients of possible threats and then leave it up to them to handle it from there. Not only does Sophos MTR increase internal teams with additional threat intelligence, unparalleled product experience, and coverage around the clock, but it also offers consumers the option of having a professionally trained team of response professionals take tailored steps on their behalf to neutralise even the most advanced threats.
Based on Intercept X Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Advanced, Sophos MTR blends machine learning with expert analysis to enhance threat hunting and detection, deeper warning investigation, and targeted threat removal behaviour. These creative capabilities are focused on the Rook Security and DarkBytes technology acquisitions by Sophos, and include:
Expert-led threat hunting: Sophos MTR anticipates the actions of attackers and determines new attack and vulnerability indicators. Sophos threat hunters proactively pursue and confirm possible threats and accidents and investigate casual and adjacent occurrences to locate emerging threats that could not previously be identified.
Advanced adversarial detection: Sophos MTR uses validated investigative methods to separate legitimate actions from the attackers' strategies, techniques, and procedures (TTP) used. The extent and severity of threats for rapid response can be calculated in accordance with enhanced telemetry from Sophos Central, which offers a comprehensive, complete image of adversary activities as part of the service.
Machine-accelerated human response: A highly skilled team of world-class experts produces and executes threat intelligence to validate threats and remotely disrupt, contain, and neutralize threats with speed and accuracy.
To meet the specific and changing needs of organizations of all sizes and maturity levels, Sophos MTR is flexible with various service levels and response modes. Sophos MTR easily escalates and takes action against threats based on the preferences of an organization, unlike many MDR services that concentrate on monitoring and threat notification.
• Sophos MTR is now available globally from registered Sophos partners. Read more on Sophos News, and for more information visit Sophos.com.
What our partners and experts in the field say:
Aaron Sherrill, the senior information security analyst at 451 Research, said, "Enterprises face sophisticated attacks from every direction, and it is absolutely critical that they can not only detect threats but also respond to them quickly.""Many suppliers claim to provide response capabilities, but in fact, as part of their core controlled detection and response (MDR) offerings, few take the steps required to remove threats. Sophos MTR blends the consistently top-rated endpoint security of Sophos with human experience and threat intelligence gathered from SophosLabs to create a completely new service that meets the growing needs of the market.
Jeremy Weiss, head of cybersecurity practice at CDW, said The only way to protect against today's advanced threats is to combine the best instruments with the brightest human minds." Sophos Guided Threat Response is a game-changer for an advanced approach to proactive security defense, integrating machine learning with human analysis. The customizable offering improves our current capabilities for threat hunting and helps us defend our clients better. Cybercrime doesn't sleep-always it's 'on'-and companies need protection around the clock," said Ken Hamilton, president, and CEO of Total Tech International Inc. "Total Tech customers can rest assured with Sophos Controlled Threat Response that they are guarded even during the second and third shifts that are notoriously hard to employ. Additional tremendous value is provided by security health guidelines, encouraging us to take urgent action to strengthen security defenses. As a Gold partner of Sophos Comtech can provide you all the services from Sophos. We have experience of 18 plus years in the field.
