Sophos has merged SophosLabs, Sophos SecOps and Sophos Artificial Intelligence (AI) teams into an umbrella called Sophos X-Ops to help organisations better defend against cyberattacks.
The cyber security vendor said the creation of the X-Ops team leverages the predictive and researched threat intelligence from each group to deliver more protection, detection and response capabilities.
Joe Levy, chief technology and product officer, Sophos, said: “Modern cybersecurity is becoming a highly interactive team sport and as the industry has matured necessary analysis, engineering and investigative specialisations have emerged.
“We’ve unified three teams within Sophos to provide this breadth of critical, subject matter and process expertise. Joined together as Sophos X-Ops they can leverage the strengths of each other including analysis of worldwide telemetry from more than 500,000 customers, threat hunting, response and remediation capabilities and artificial intelligence to measurably improve threat detection and response.”
