Rajeev Gupta Director – Sales, India & SAARC, Sophos
“AI is transforming both the scale of cyberattacks and the speed at which organisations must defend themselves. Attackers are increasingly using AI to create convincing phishing campaigns, automate reconnaissance and exploit weaknesses, making traditional, reactive security approaches insufficient. At Sophos, we combine AI-driven detection, prevention and threat intelligence with human expertise to identify suspicious behaviour earlier and help organisations respond before threats escalate.
As enterprises adopt generative AI and autonomous tools, protecting sensitive information requires greater visibility into how these technologies are being used and what data they can access. Sophos AI Defense helps organisations gain visibility into AI application usage and enforce policies. These controls can support organisations in strengthening data protection, managing risk and meeting evolving security and compliance requirements, alongside appropriate governance and regulatory processes.
What differentiates Sophos is our prevention-first approach, combining AI, connected security technologies and expert-led threat response rather than treating individual alerts in isolation. Our agentic security operations capabilities are designed to accelerate investigations and automate responses where appropriate, while retaining human expertise for complex threats. Sophos has reported that AI resolves 52% of cases end to end in its managed detection and response operations, with an average automated response time of 89 seconds. For enterprises, the objective is to move beyond detecting threats to reducing risk, improving response times and building resilience as their digital ecosystems become increasingly complex.”
