Historically, organizations reacted to active cybersecurity threats. But a predictive approach — one that makes the most of #AI, threat intelligence, and governance frameworks — builds stronger cyber resilience and enables long-term business success. A CISO’s role has expanded to view #cybersecurity as more than an IT problem. A combination of technical expertise and strong communication skills is necessary for them to bridge the gap between technology and business leaders.

Threat actors are savvy — they think two steps ahead of security tooling. A holistic #cybersecurity approach empowers organizations to cover their bases. “You need hunting. The tools are not enough. The tools are going to miss stuff. The tools only work when you say, 'I have a pattern — block this pattern,’” says Brittany Deaton, senior sales engineer at Sophos. Threat hunting adds the necessary human element to detect and mitigate previously unseen threats. Learn more from Kyle Alspach in CRN: https://bit.ly/3DNrMwF

Last year, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) introduced a new Secure by Design pledge. This set the groundwork for security vendors to integrate cybersecurity into every step of product development.

Cyber resilience carries your organization beyond defense. Teams that balance protection, detection, and response enable wide organizational success, says Chester Wisniewski, director and global field CISO at Sophos.

In this live attack demo, Sophos Endpoint, enhanced by CryptoGuard technology, stopped #ransomware in its tracks. Watch the demo to see how the solution stopped encryption, restored files instantly, and cut off attacker access:  https://lnkd.in/ggarmfa7

Cyber insurance claims made by organizations with #MDR are, on average, 97.5% lower than those that use only endpoint protection. Plus, organizations that use MDR services recover fastest from significant cyberattacks with almost half (47%) fully recovered within a week, compared to just 18% using endpoint protection alone. Investing in MDR delivers lower cyber incident impact, faster recovery, and better long-term ROI.

Ransomware is one of the most significant threats facing organizations today. Battling it is no easy task, particularly given that threat actors are continually refining their techniques and approaches. At the end of 2023, Sophos X-Ops noted a significant increase in ‘remote encryption’ attacks – where ransomware attackers breach a compromised and often under protected endpoint to encrypt data on other devices connected to the same network. Read our newsletter to learn more:
