Security teams have a lot coming at them right now. Attacks are moving faster, environments are getting more complex, and many teams are being asked to do more with less. That’s why we’re excited to share that Sophos has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Services for Midmarket […]

This year’s data has a few eyebrow-raising departures from the patterns of past State of Ransomware reports. Exploited vulnerabilities lost their three-year grip on the top root-cause spot. Median ransom demands and payments both dropped, yet the average recovery bill still climbed. And small organizations (100-250 employees) are falling further behind their larger peers on

When frontier AI models crossed a new capability threshold towards the end of last year – developing the kind of ability that lets nearly any adversary generate working exploit code, craft convincing social engineering at scale, and chain attacks that cross security product boundaries autonomously – the threat landscape didn’t just evolve. It accelerated into

Sophos has been named a 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Email Security. This marks Sophos’ entry into the report, as well as Sophos’ first ever Customers’ Choice distinction for Email Security. In the report, Sophos has an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.0,

A research preview of an AI system quietly did something that makes every CISO reconsider their threat model. Without a human directing its steps, this new model identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser. Not in years. Not in months. In weeks. That AI was Claude Mythos Preview. And while the

BeyondTrust, the global leader in privilege-centric identity security protecting Paths to Privilege™, today announced an expanded Identity Security Risk Assessment (ISRA), a feature of BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights®. Built around a new five-pillar analysis framework, ISRA now maps the full identity attack surface across human, non-human, and AI identities, enabling teams to discover and act on risk

We’re proud to announce that Sophos has won three awards at the SE Labs Awards 2026: Enterprise Endpoint (Windows), Small Business Endpoint (Windows), and Small Business Security Development. These recognitions are testimony to Sophos Endpoint’s ability to stop advanced persistent attacks (APTs) in enterprise environments while delivering strong, easy-to-manage, out-of-the-box security for small and mid-sized organizations. The same prevention-first defense

By now, you’ve probably heard the airplane analogy when it comes to AI and cybersecurity. If not, cybersecurity for AI has been likened to a plane being assembled while airborne. This is a fitting visual as many of us are trying to keep up with something that is already taken off. With this same analogy,

AI-powered attacks and Frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos are changing cybersecurity faster than most organizations realize. These models dramatically lower the bar for sophisticated attacks, enabling attackers to execute complex campaigns with unprecedented speed and scale. They allow adversaries to discover Zero Day vulnerabilities, chain together misconfigurations, enumerate identities, move laterally, escalate privileges, and

Kaseya, the leading global provider of AI-powered IT management and cybersecurity software, today introduced the first agentic IT management platform – powered by Kaseya Intelligence. Unlike traditional IT management tools that surface insights for humans to act on, Kaseya’s platform combines comprehensive data across IT operations, cybersecurity, and cyber resilience with an execution layer that
