Ransomware attacks are a gold rush for cybercriminals, with payout averages rising 21 percent in 2020 to nearly $234,000. Speed is essential when mitigating a crisis situation, but many SMBs don’t have an incident response plan for if and when they’re hit with an attack. “Oftentimes organizations, they don’t have the need to really think through these things fully, so they don’t have a well-documented plan about who to call and what teams to involve,” says Joe Levy, CTO of Sophos.
Equip your customers with a world-class team of incident responders, threat hunters and threat analysts only available with Sophos Rapid Response. This 24/7 team identifies and neutralizes active attacks, quickly removing adversaries from your network to minimize damage and costs while reducing recovery time. “We can see signs of an attack while the attacker is maneuvering in an environment after they’ve gotten to the point of initial compromise,” says Levy. “We’re often successful in thwarting that attack before it actually delivers the ransomware payload.”
The Sophos Rapid Response team can be on-boarded and activated within hours, and the majority of attacks are triaged within 48 hours. “We can deploy the Sophos software from our remote locations, and we can administer the entire service remotely,” Levy says. Sophos Rapid Response provides a valuable opportunity to grow your business without the investment required to develop proprietary or hybrid tools, or acquire expertise that is hard to attract, train and retain. “If you’re a partner or an MSP who isn’t running a SOC today, it basically gives you the capability to sell SOC services through Sophos to protect your customers,” says Levy. “If you’re a partner who already has a SOC, it basically allows you to augment and scale the SOC operation that you have today in a way that delivers additional revenue opportunity for you and good margin opportunities as well.”
Sophos Rapid Response is an industry-first, fixed-fee remote incident response service that neutralizes threats throughout the 45-day engagement, giving businesses of all sizes peace of mind and cost predictability.
