The primary use case is mostly for the SMB segment where the customer does not have a dedicated team for support, especially for cyber threats. It has also proved most valuable in the financial sector where data is critical and there might have been attempts at hacking in the past.

It's a managed detection service. So my clients would only use the MDR if they need 24/7 managed risk. We are one of the distributors of Sophos here in South Africa. We serve the entire market.
Since we installed Sophos MDR, we have thankfully had peace of mind. Before the Sophos MDR installation, we had a very bad experience with several clients. Post-installation, this issue has decreased, and it's very effective.

We use it for managed services, primarily for customers who lack resources. MDR is a tool that not only identifies and shows the impact of viruses but also requires no technical staff for operation. So, the user doesn't need a technician; it offers 24/7 support to identify and manage your infrastructure and take complete care of any technological incidents. We don't need to invest in manpower. For example, if we are investing in an IT guy for endpoint solution security, we are investing our money in a guy. And the ROI will not be much because they will only do analytics parts. But what happens when the engine has a ransomware attack is that they will not be able to resolve the ransomware, which Sophos MDR will help you resolve very quickly.
We are a distributor of Sophos products in Pakistan. Our customers use Sophos MDR when they require a unified dashboard for integrating multiple vendors' solutions, enabling them to have visibility across all their systems. Sophos MDR is particularly valuable for organizations that lack an in-house expert to manage and secure their network.
We use Sophos MDR for DLP (Data Loss Prevention), NGIPS (Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System), URL filtering, application control, and visibility.

We use Sophos MTR for three of our customers, and we're proposing it for a fourth. We sell Sophos Intercept X Advanced with EDR and MTR Advanced. All of this is managed through Sophos Central and just integrated into the endpoint for both workstations and servers, so we see alerts, problems, and cases opened.

We are using this solution in conjunction with others. We usually put both endpoint detection solutions in some of our desktops and in others, we have the Sophos desktop solution combined with Sophos firewall switches.
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.
