The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 delivers a clear and uncomfortable truth: cyber risk is accelerating faster than our traditional defenses can keep up. AI-driven attacks, geopolitical volatility, supply-chain fragility, and widening cyber inequity reshape the threat landscape at a systemic level. What stands out most, however, is not just what is changing—but where defenses are consistently failing. Across AI misuse, ransomware, fraud, supply-chain compromise, […]

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) remains a cornerstone of cybersecurity, but attackers have learned to find workarounds. As identity-driven attacks continue to rise, organizations must go beyond MFA to build resilience. Sophos experts and recent Gartner research agree: It’s time for an identity-first security strategy backed by continuous detection and response. For many organizations, keeping pace with

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are third-party companies that typically handle a portfolio of other organizations’ IT operations or day-to-day activities. This puts MSPs on the front lines of cybersecurity for numerous businesses, often in highly regulated industries, handling some of their most sensitive data. Even the most experienced MSPs struggle to securely manage passwords, credentials,

AI has dominated cybersecurity headlines for years, but as we enter 2026, the conversation is shifting from hype to hard realities. Across incident response, threat intelligence, and security operations, Sophos experts see clearer signals of where AI is truly making an impact. For IT teams already stretched thin, this isn’t theoretical — it’s reshaping daily

Sophos introduced Synchronized Security in 2015 with the ability for Sophos Firewall and Sophos Endpoint to share information and work together to automatically respond to threats. This pioneering approach, which transformed cybersecurity from a collection of point products to a security ecosystem, has been successfully reducing cyber risk and elevating security outcomes in the face

We’re excited to announce the latest addition to the Sophos portfolio: Sophos Workspace Protection. It’s an easy, effective, and affordable way to protect remote and hybrid workers, contractors and guests – and the networks and data they access – from threats, breaches, and shadow IT, and provide consistent policy enforcement on and off the network.

As we enter 2026, the threat of ransomware remains one of the most pressing security challenges facing enterprise organizations, making this a critical time to reassess exposure, preparedness, and resilience. Sophos’ inaugural report draws on the real-world experiences of 1,733 enterprises that were hit by ransomware in 2025, providing a clear view of the current

Ransomware continues to cripple organizations worldwide, draining budgets and halting operations. For IT teams already stretched thin, a single attack can mean days of downtime and irreversible data loss. While endpoint protection often gets the spotlight, your firewall is one of the most powerful tools for stopping ransomware before it starts — and locking it

In today’s threat landscape, stolen credentials are one of the most common causes of data breaches. A recent report found that 61% of all breaches involve the misuse of credentials. Attackers use tactics like phishing and “push-bombing” (rapid-fire MFA push notifications) to trick users into giving away access. Just one compromised password or an accidentally approved login can

MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations are among the world’s most rigorous independent security tests. They emulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real-world adversaries to assess each participating vendor’s ability to detect, analyze, and articulate threats in alignment with the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework. These evaluations continually strengthen our capabilities, for the benefit of the organizations we
