Sophos MDR Primary Use Case

Shaun Gordon - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Security Officer at Duxbury

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.

Our primary use case for Sophos MDR is for clients who do not have a dedicated IT team for monitoring 24/7. We offer managed detection and response services to take care of monitoring. The key advantage is that Sophos MDR directly provides a service monitoring system 24/7 and can configure automatic responses even if the customer is not available. View full review »

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.

ICT Manager at a mining and metals company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I'm currently in the process of building my cybersecurity team. I believe that by enrolling them in this program, they can benefit from direct engagement with an industry leader while also having access to a Security Operations Center. The SOC aspect is essential because it offers different levels of engagement which means that my team can closely collaborate with the Sophos team to bolster our security defenses. With Sophos MDR, we can harness the expertise of the Sophos SOC. They continuously monitor our network and endpoints and provide regular notifications if they detect any suspicious activities or threats and ensure that we're well protected against serious cyberattacks.

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.

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 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.

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.
