Endpoint Solution

Overview

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) helps identify and investigate suspicious activity on devices. Extended detection and response (XDR) correlates signals across supported sources, while managed detection and response (MDR) adds 24/7 monitoring and analyst-led response for organisations that need additional security operations support.

Sophos partner technologies include endpoint protection, EDR/XDR, and MDR options. We agree telemetry, coverage, escalation paths, and response actions for each deployment.

Overview

EDR provides visibility into endpoint activity to help security teams detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious behaviour.

Capabilities can include:

• Endpoint Visibility: Review activity across supported endpoints and servers.

• Analytics-Assisted Detection: Use analytics to help prioritise detections for investigation.

• Threat Hunting: Investigate suspicious activity and search for indicators across endpoint telemetry.

• Live Response: Connect to supported endpoints to investigate and remediate issues through an authorised response workflow.

• Investigation Workflows: Use search and saved query templates to support consistent investigations.

Overview

XDR correlates telemetry from supported security tools to help analysts investigate related activity and coordinate response across an environment.

Capabilities can include:

• Microsoft Defender Integration: Connect supported Microsoft Defender data sources to improve visibility and investigation workflows.

• Analytics-Assisted Detection: Use analytics to help identify patterns and prioritise activity for review.

• Tool Integration: Bring together supported security data sources within existing security operations workflows.

• Investigation Workflows: Use guided workflows to support consistent analysis and response.

• AI-Assisted Analysis: Where available, AI features can summarise cases and assist with command analysis for analyst review.

• Hybrid Environments: Integrate supported on-premises and cloud security sources.

Overview

MDR adds a managed team for ongoing threat monitoring, investigation, and response, with coverage and actions agreed in the service scope.

Capabilities can include:

• Microsoft Security Integrations: Connect supported Microsoft 365 and Defender data sources.

• 24/7 Monitoring: Monitor in-scope systems for suspicious activity and escalate findings according to agreed procedures.

• Security Analyst Support: Use analyst expertise in threat intelligence, investigation, threat hunting, and incident response.

• Proactive Threat Hunting: Search available telemetry for indicators of suspicious or malicious activity.

• Configurable Response: Agree service tiers, escalation paths, and response options to fit your operating requirements.

• Incident Coordination: Coordinate response actions with your team in line with the agreed service scope.
