Sophos Deploys Agentic AI In MDR
Sophos announced it has embedded agentic AI across its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, deploying two production agents — a Triage Agent and a Case Investigation Agent — to automate early triage and investigation. Sophos says the Triage Agent reduces alert noise by more than 60% and the Investigation Agent cuts mean time to investigate by up to 50%, accelerating detection and response while keeping analysts in control.
