GITEX
PREVIEW
Sophos to stress importance of Cybersecurity-as-a-Service S ophos will be putting an emphasis on Cybersecurity-as-a-Service at this year ’ s GITEX .
Harish Chib , Vice President , Middle East and Africa , Sophos , said : “ This year , our GITEX theme is ‘ Cybersecurity-as-a-Service ’ which we believe is the future of cybersecurity . Organisations need services to help them defeating cyberthreats , which have increased exponentially in the last couple of years , both in volume and sophistication – to the point where it is difficult for businesses to handle alone .
“ Attackers are constantly changing their tactics , techniques and procedures ( TTPs ) to launch cyberattacks like ransomware . To make matters worse , the ransomware business model is continuously shifting and expanding , with Initial
Access Brokers ( IABs ) selling network access to any potential ransomware attacker .
“ Even ‘ unskilled hackers ’ can get into the ransomware business – by buying the network access , encryption code and other bespoke pieces needed to launch the attack . Compounding the issue is the current cybersecurity skills gap .”
Specifically , at GITEX , Sophos is highlighting its Managed Detection and Response ( MDR ) capabilities .
The combination of Sophos ’ experts and tools provided as-a-Service can help organisations of all sizes to deal with any cyber issues 24x7 365 days of the year . It also helps organisations to proactively hunt for threats , scope their severity , initiate action and remediate .
