In our industry, trust isn’t an abstract concept. It’s the currency of cybersecurity – the foundation of every partnership we build and every protection we provide. However, a recent independent, vendor-agnostic survey of 5,000 cybersecurity decision-makers across 17 countries reveals a stark reality: we’re facing a trust crisis. According to our findings in Sophos’ Cybersecurity Trust […]

Organizations today operate under a substantial number of IT and cybersecurity compliance obligations. By defining requirements for areas such as access control, incident response, encryption, governance, and vendor management, compliance standards help reduce the likelihood and impact of cyberattacks, support regulatory and legal obligations, and build trust in digital ecosystems. 5,000 IT and cyber leaders

Sophos has been named a 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

In everyday conversations, “AI and data security” tends to blur two big ideas together: using AI to strengthen traditional security measures and applying standard protections to the vast amounts of data organizations already manage. AI data security, however, tells a more focused story. It’s about safeguarding the data that fuels AI and machine learning (ML) itself. This would encompass

AI now plays a key role in today’s organizations, and with its adoption comes the clear need for dedicated AI security solutions. In fact, securing AI agents is a top-five priority for 93% of organizations today. This urgency comes as it becomes more common for teams to run agentic AI workloads for analyzing data, making decisions, and taking

Many organisations take a phased approach to deploying password managers, starting with IT and security teams and planning to expand later. This approach is often shaped by practical constraints such as budgets, licensing and the need to balance competing priorities. Partial cybersecurity coverage leaves organisations exposed to breach paths that are actively exploited. When only

The start of a new year is always a good time to take stock. In cybersecurity, one perennial problem – the persistence of “vintage” open source vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and Shellshock – should force us to ask some hard questions. Why do so many vulnerabilities persist in Open Source (OS) tools, and how do we fix the problem? In theory, OS

A recent IEEE global study revealed that 96% believe that the innovation, exploration and adoption of AI – specifically agentic AI – will continue at “lightning speed” in 2026. What does that mean? It means that with the cement still hardening on AI regulatory compliance and the necessary data center infrastructure to support it still five years out, we’d better learn
