AI-driven attacks now move faster than most SOCs can respond. The question isn't whether to adapt. It's what an effective response actually looks like in practice. Join Sophos experts on June 25 for a working session on defending at AI speed. 🔹 How AI is reshaping attacker speed and tradecraft 🔹 What an agentic SOC does that traditional tooling can't 🔹 Where human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop decisions belong 📅 June 25, 2026 🕙 10:00 a.m. IST | 10:00 a.m. BST | 11:00 a.m. PDT Save your seat: https://lnkd.in/g8yXHiRr
🔒 Defenders need a defense system, not a collection of fragmented products. Sophos Firewall is built that way by default. As part of the Sophos AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System, it acts on live threat intelligence from Sophos X-Ops researchers, surfaces active adversaries to MDR analysts, and automatically isolates compromised devices before attacks spread laterally. You can't fight a connected attack with disconnected tools. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gxKpMve3

Every endpoint vendor claims to be best on Windows. Three SE LABS Ⓡ awards in 2026 say Sophos actually is. 🔹 Enterprise Endpoint for Windows 🔹 Small Business Endpoint for Windows 🔹 Small Business Security Development Independent testing against real adversary techniques. Validated at both ends of the market, from the largest enterprises to the smallest businesses. Behind every Sophos Endpoint detection is Sophos X-Ops, global threat researchers analyzing adversary tradecraft around the clock. The intelligence isn't bolted on after the fact. It's built into every block. Effective security should be proven, not promised. Learn more from the link in comments 👇
The gap between what AI can find and what attackers can actually weaponize is where modern defense lives. Every attacker, human or AI-driven, still has to corrupt memory, redirect execution, and escalate privileges to do real damage. The primitives are finite. Sophos Endpoint is built at that layer, blocking the techniques every exploit must use, on every process, by default. Read the full breakdown ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gE7gdqWV

Attackers are now spinning up hidden virtual machines on endpoints to operate completely outside the view of traditional security tools. Sophos X-Ops observed this technique used to steal credentials, move laterally, and deploy ransomware. All without tripping the controls most organizations depend on. Ransomware actors are evolving faster than the strategies built to stop them. The answer isn’t more point products. It’s a Defense System that sees the full environment, shares intelligence across every layer, and responds as one. Senior Threat Researcher Morgan Demboski breaks it down in the latest episode of Cyber Shorts: https://lnkd.in/g2hYAZxg

Not every attack starts with malware, some start with a simple request for help. In this real-world case, Marlene Jones breaks down how an attacker impersonated IT support in Microsoft Teams and gained screen access to deploy a remote access Trojan. Sophos MDR detected unusual account behavior, validated identities against trusted domains, and shut down the session before the attack could escalate. This is what a truly agentic SOC looks like in practice: AI-driven detection working alongside human analysts to investigate and respond in real time. The attacker had access. They just didn't have long enough to use it. Watch Product Marketing Manager Marlene Jones break down how the attack unfolded and what your team can do to stop it ⤵️
What happens when ransomware tactics overlap with cyber-espionage operations? Introducing the X-Ops Brief, a new series from Sophos X-Ops exploring the threat actors, tactics, and trends shaping today’s cyber landscape. Our first episode examines the blurring lines between cybercrime and cyber-espionage through the activity of GOLD SALEM — a ransomware group linked to attacks targeting the nuclear energy, aerospace, and government sectors. Drawing on investigations across 11 incidents and more than 60 organizations, Sophos X-Ops researchers reveal how the group operated and the tactics behind its campaigns.

🏆 No. 1 in Endpoint Protection, EDR, XDR, MDR, and Firewall. Again. Sophos is the only vendor to ever top all five categories in the G2 Reports — and we've now done it back-to-back (Summer 2026). That's not five separate wins. It's what happens when your cyber defenses work as one system, not in silos. See the results 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8tVjU-Z
