Capability	What it does
Around-the-clock monitoring	Sophos analysts watch your environment every hour of every day. A threat at 3am is dealt with then, not when someone logs in the next morning.
Proactive threat hunting	The team looks for attackers who slip past automated tools, so quiet, hands-on-keyboard activity gets found before it turns into a breach.
Active threat containment	When an attack is live, Sophos steps in and contains it. On MDR Plus, they run the full response end to end.
Works across your stack	Coverage reaches endpoint, firewall, cloud, email, and identity, with more than 350 third-party integrations, so you do not have to replace what you run.
