Managed Threat Response
Others Stop at Notification.
We Take Action.
24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response delivered by
an expert team as a fully-managed service
Threat Notification Isn’t the Solution – It’s a Starting Point
Other managed detection and response (MDR) services simply notify you of attacks or suspicious events. Then it’s up to you to manage things from there.
With Sophos MTR, your organization is backed by an elite team of threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.
“Clients with successful SOCs put the premium on people rather than process and technology. People and process overshadow technology as predictors for SOC success or failure.”
Gartner, “How to Plan, Design, Operate and Evolve a SOC” (2018)
Complete Control and Transparency
We do the work, but you own the decisions. This means you control how and when potential incidents are escalated, what response actions (if any) you want us to take, and who should be included in communications.
Sophos MTR features three response modes so you can choose the best way for our MTR team to work alongside you during incidents:
Notify
We notify you about the detection and provide details to help you with prioritization and response
Collaborate
We work with your internal team or external point(s) of contact to respond to the detection
Authorize
We handle containment and neutralization actions and inform you of the action(s) taken
Machine-Accelerated Human Response

With Sophos MTR, your organization is backed by an elite team of threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.
