In today's artificial intelligence-driven threat landscape, cyberattackers operate continuously, exploiting vulnerabilities across endpoints, networks, cloud environments and identities - often beyond traditional working hours. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated attacks and a global shortage of cybersecurity talent, reactive defenses are no longer sufficient. This is where managed detection and response, or MDR, becomes critical. Security leaders must ask: are their tools detecting threats early, validating them accurately and neutralizing them decisively, 24/7? The right MDR solution reduces alert fatigue, closes visibility gaps and enables resilience, without the complexity of running an in-house security operations center. 

In this session, Anuj Sharma, manager of solutions engineering at Sophos, will cover: 

• How to establish AI-driven security platform with continuous human-led threat hunting, investigation and response; 
• A uniform approach combining technology and strategy to establish a proactive response mechanism; 
• Tactical and strategic approaches to defend, adapt and stay ahead of the threat vectors while maintaining resilience.
