Delivered through Sophos Fusion and informed by live threat intelligence, Sophos CISO Advantage combines agentic AI with expert human judgment to turn security data into strategy. It helps organizations understand their security posture, align against recognized frameworks, prioritize what matters most, and demonstrate measurable progress over time.

That's a wrap on a strong week at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit London. Ross McKerchar's session, "Containment Strategies for Agentic AI: A Practical Guide for CISOs," dug into how to prepare for AI-driven threats and where containment fits into resilience planning.

An endpoint detects suspicious activity at 3:47 a.m. By the time someone reads the alert, has the threat already reached identity, email, and the network? That gap, between detection in one tool and response across the rest, is where attackers operate. Sophos Fusion unifies signals across your environment and coordinates response across every control point, so a detection at one layer automatically triggers action everywhere. From alert to automated response: 89 seconds. See where Sophos Fusion fits your environment: https://lnkd.in/eGEhnqei

ESCO Technologies supports critical infrastructure across utilities, aerospace and defense, and advanced testing environments, with 9 business units each running its own IT organization and its own inherited tools. That distributed model is hard to secure. In 2025, Sophos identified 3.6 million security events across ESCO, investigated roughly 360,000 cases, and escalated just 186 that needed ESCO's internal teams. By monitoring, investigating, and responding around the clock, Sophos MDR lets ESCO's distributed teams focus on the decisions that matter most instead of alert volume.

An endpoint alert used to mean an endpoint response. Not anymore. Analysts firms like Gartner are pointing to a shift: organizations need an intelligent layer that connects their security tools and responds to threats at machine speed. In the AI era, that means an open, connected architecture that can act across every control point at once. An alert on an endpoint might actually call for a revoked session in Google or Microsoft. Attacks don't stay siloed by product, so response can't either.

AI is already inside your organization. Some of it arrived through approved tools. The rest came in through browser tabs, integrations, and agents your security team never reviewed. "Even if frontier AI development stopped today, that work would remain." John Peterson, CTO, Sophos The forecasts will keep shifting. What decides the outcome is whether your organization can adapt safely as the technology, the threat landscape, and the way people work keep changing. So AI uncertainty is a reason to build: organizations that can experiment, govern risk in proportion to its impact, and keep control even when the next development is impossible to predict.
