Sophos Managed Detection and Response

Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provides 24/7 threat hunting, detection, and incident response delivered by an elite team of Sophos security operations experts. Rather than simply alerting you to potential threats and leaving you to investigate and respond, Sophos MDR takes action on your behalf — containing threats, removing adversaries, and remediating the root cause of incidents. This human-led, AI-assisted approach delivers security outcomes that technology alone cannot achieve.

The Sophos MDR team monitors your environment around the clock, hunting for threats that evade automated detection. Using proprietary threat intelligence, behavioural analytics, and XDR telemetry from Sophos and third-party security products, analysts detect sophisticated attacks including living-off-the-land techniques, supply chain compromises, and state-sponsored threat actor campaigns that traditional tools miss.

When a threat is detected, the response is immediate. The MDR team can isolate compromised devices, terminate malicious processes, block attacker infrastructure, and provide detailed remediation guidance — all within minutes rather than the days or weeks a typical organisation takes to respond. A dedicated threat response lead provides regular reviews and proactive security posture improvements.

Xcobean offers Sophos MDR as a fully managed service for East African organisations that lack the in-house security expertise or 24/7 staffing to operate their own SOC. We handle onboarding, sensor deployment, integration with existing security tools, and serve as the primary escalation point for all security incidents.
