The most important aspect is a EC2 deployment which is a remote deployment done for new customers using Sophos. Approximately ninety-five percent of EC2 deployment is automated, requiring only a review or customization for the customer's needs. Another key feature is the centralized control of updates, allowing for scheduling any interaction with the endpoint. Additionally, the new platform and system operations, along with IOCs, are updated daily. Sophos has a very good policy at good prices. Since I have a local contact with the salespeople, they provide me discounts. It's very stable and competitive. When the customers have budget, they can opt for CrowdStrike. However, when the customers have budget constraints on daily servers, and when the customers prefer to integrate mobile platforms with different technologies, they can use this one technology. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Since Sophos has stopped the risk, we are saving money and protecting ourselves from potential threats. We also saved our files. Sophos MDR is focused on the significant challenge posed by AI in cybersecurity. Since AI has virtually no limits and can perform a wide range of tasks, it can bypass security measures. Sophos is well-versed in understanding how AI operates and what it can do, which is crucial in the modern landscape where AI can both aid and threaten security systems. Sophos MDR serves as a critical layer of defense, ensuring robust security and firewalls when new technologies are introduced. Sophos can better predict and mitigate risks by understanding AI's capabilities. For instance, if AI were misused to compromise a company's security, Sophos MDR's robust security measures and flexible, adaptive systems are designed to detect and neutralize such threats. In healthcare, we have many systems and devices. We need to know all their functionalities and the work involved in securing them. Security measures can block or bypass functions and potentially stop your work or system. Therefore, we must be familiar with all the system protocols, ports, and mechanisms to ensure smooth configuration and operation. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

They offer three different engagement levels with the Sophos team. We can choose full engagement, where Sophos takes immediate action upon detecting a threat, but this doesn't offer much learning opportunity for our team. Alternatively, we can opt for a middle-ground approach, where Sophos reports the threat to us and assists our team in handling it. This model allows our team to learn and gain experience from the Sophos experts. The third option involves Sophos solely reporting the threat to us, leaving the resolution in our hands. It is important that our team doesn't become entirely dependent on it, but to work alongside the Sophos team to intercept threats and gain a deeper understanding of where these threats originate. It's a collaborative effort to enhance our skills and knowledge about potential threats.
