Sophos launches AI-native cybersecurity defense system

 
Sophos, a global cybersecurity leader, has announced Sophos Fusion, the industry’s most complete AI-native cybersecurity defense system, built to deliver a coordinated response to AI-era threats.

A cybersecurity defense system is an emerging category in the industry: a single, open architecture where every control point, every service, every data source, and every analyst operates as one, whether the control point is native or third-party. Every new source enhances the system, accelerating outcomes while reducing overhead, says a press release. 

The AI era has changed what modern defense requires. Attacks can now move across an organization’s environment as a single coordinated operation, further compressing the time from first access to impact from days to hours. Most security and IT leaders are trying to meet that speed with a growing pile of disconnected tools.
 
Sophos Fusion offers endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), next-gen SIEM, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), managed detection and response (MDR), network security, email, cloud, and advisory services as one defense system. 
 
With support for more than 500 third-party integrations, organizations can use their existing endpoint, firewall, and identity tools as part of the system alongside Sophos defense and protection.
