Sophos Drives Preventive Cybersecurity With AI And New MSP Services At XChange LATAM 2025

At XChange LATAM 2025, organized by ITSitio Group and The Channel Company in the Riviera Maya, Sophos unveiled its latest initiatives to strengthen identity protection and empower managed service providers across the Americas.

In an interview with ITSitio, Karen Guarino, Sr. MSP Channel Account Executive for the Americas at Sophos, introduced the company’s newest product, Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response, designed to monitor credential risks on the dark web, a threat that has increased by 106 percent over the past year, according to the Sophos X-Ops Counter Threat Unit.

“This solution focuses on protecting MDR and XDR customers by continuously scanning the dark web for stolen or leaked credentials that could be used to infiltrate corporate networks,” Guarino explained.

The executive emphasized that Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response plays a crucial role in preventive cybersecurity, helping organizations anticipate and neutralize threats before they cause harm. “A single attack can be too costly and destructive for a customer’s business. Prevention and visibility are key,” she said.

Guarino also highlighted the rapid growth of the MSP Flex program, which allows partners to offer the entire Sophos portfolio through flexible monthly subscriptions, improving scalability and profitability for service providers.

“MSP Flex is our fastest-growing program. Starting in January, we’ll include free third-party integrations for MDR and XDR customers, adding even more value to their security offering,” she noted.

In addition, Sophos continues to invest in its channel ecosystem with free training programs, helping partners deploy solutions faster and more effectively.

XChange LATAM 2025 brought together channel leaders, vendors and executives from across the continent under the theme “Connect, Inspire, Transform,” exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way businesses operate, collaborate and create value.

With these advancements, Sophos reinforces its leadership in intelligent cybersecurity, merging AI-driven insight, proactive protection and strong channel collaboration to build a safer digital future.
