-
Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Secured, encrypted, and tested backups

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Is Increasingly Required to Get Cover
Insurance providers understand that proactive threat hunting and neutralization is an essential part of advanced defenses as it reduces cybersecurity risk. As a result, endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities are often a prerequisite for cover.

Sophos Extended Detection and Response (XDR) enables your security analysts to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across endpoints and your wider environment, reducing your risk of experiencing a major cyber incident.
