Sophos Emergency Incident Response

Lightning-fast incident response

Sophos Emergency Incident Response provides incredibly fast assistance, identifying and neutralizing active threats against your organization. Whether it’s an infection, compromise, or unauthorized access attempt to circumvent your security controls, our 24/7 team of remote and onsite incident responders have seen and stopped it all.

Every second counts during an attack

When responding to an active threat, it’s imperative that the time interval between the initial indicator of compromise and full threat mitigation is as brief as possible. As an adversary progresses through the cyber kill chain, time is of the essence in preventing a breach.

Sophos Emergency Incident Response gets you out of the danger zone fast with our 24/7 team of remote incident responders, threat analysts, and threat hunters. How fast? Onboarding starts within hours, and the majority of customers are triaged within 48 hours.
