Sophos Managed Risk

Find and fix your weak spots before an attacker does.

Q: What is the difference between EASM and IASM in Sophos Managed Risk?

External Attack Surface Management finds internet-facing assets that could be attacked from outside, such as web and email servers and public APIs. Internal Attack Surface Management uses Tenable Nessus scanners to find vulnerabilities inside the network. Sophos Managed Risk includes both.

Q: Do I need Sophos MDR to use Sophos Managed Risk?

No, but they work together. The Managed Risk team shares vulnerability and exposure information with Sophos MDR, so if you run both, an at-risk environment gets investigated faster.

Most organisations have internet-facing assets they have forgotten they own, and new vulnerabilities appear faster than any team can patch them. Sophos Managed Risk is a fully managed vulnerability and attack surface service, powered by Tenable, that finds those exposures inside and out, tells you what to fix first, and warns you when something serious turns up. In the last year, 40% of ransomware victims were hit through an exposure they did not know they had.

What Sophos Managed Risk does.

An attacker's-eye view of your environment, run for you by a dedicated team.

External attack surface (EASM)

Finds and classifies the internet-facing assets you may not know you own, including web and email servers, web apps, and public API endpoints.

Internal attack surface (IASM)

Uses Tenable Nessus scanners to find vulnerabilities inside your network and rate their severity, closing the internal blind spot.

Risk-based prioritisation

Intelligently ranks which vulnerabilities pose the highest risk, so you know what to patch first and why, instead of drowning in a flat list.

Continuous scanning

Regular automated scans keep pace with your changing attack surface, plus extra scans when a new exploit appears or a vulnerability's risk level changes.

Proactive notification

When a severe exposure appears, Sophos checks your assets for the chance of an exploit and tells you, rather than leaving you to find out later.

Expert remediation guidance

A dedicated team of Tenable-certified analysts explains each exposure and gives tailored guidance on how to close it.

How the service works.

Tenable's technology, run by a Sophos team, tied into your Sophos security.

Fully managed, not another tool

You do not run a scanner yourself. A dedicated Sophos team operates the service and hands you prioritised findings and guidance.

Powered by Tenable

It uses Tenable's exposure management technology and Nessus scanners, the industry leader, for the coverage and severity data behind every finding.

Set up and reported in Sophos Focus

You activate the service, provide contacts and domains, and see findings and case management in the same console as the rest of your Sophos security.

Shares intelligence with Sophos MDR

The Managed Risk team works with Sophos MDR, exchanging information on zero-days and exposures so an at-risk environment gets investigated faster.

service, fewer blind spots

What is Sophos Managed Risk?

A fully managed vulnerability and attack surface management service, powered by Tenable and delivered by a dedicated Sophos team. It finds your internal and external exposures, prioritises them by risk, scans continuously, and gives you remediation guidance.

What is the difference between EASM and IASM?

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) finds internet-facing assets that could be attacked from outside, such as web and email servers and public APIs. Internal Attack Surface Management (IASM) uses Tenable Nessus scanners to find vulnerabilities inside your network. Sophos Managed Risk includes both.

Is this a product I run, or a service?

It is a fully managed service. A dedicated team of Tenable-certified Sophos analysts runs the scanning and prioritisation and hands you findings and guidance. You configure and view it in Sophos Focus.

How often does it scan?

Regular automated scans run on a schedule, with additional scans when a new exploit is discovered or when the risk level of a known vulnerability changes.

Do I need Sophos MDR to use it?

No, but the two work together. The Managed Risk team shares vulnerability and exposure information with Sophos MDR, so if you run both, an at-risk environment gets investigated faster.
