Integrated analytics have improved threat visibility and reduced manual monitoring effort
One of the areas for improvement in Sophos MDR is the amount of traffic and the VPN because when we have that much load, the hardware gets a little bit heated. So they need to look into the capacity of the hardware. Functionality-wise and features-wise for Sophos MDR, we are somewhat satisfied, but there are a lot of things we don't use even. However, the critical part is there, which we use, while most other functionalities we don't require because the more complicated the configuration we do in a security fabric, the more difficult it is to handle those types of data and readings and analytics. We have enabled only the features and functions needed, leaving the rest disabled.
