Introducing Sophos CISO Advantage. Its agentic AI assesses your specific environment, identifies the gaps that actually matter to your business, and builds a structured, prioritized program of continuous improvement — one that business leaders can understand, support, and trust.

Sophos Fusion sees everything, connects everything, and enables your defenses to respond as one. It’s the industry’s most complete cyber defense system, engineered for a world where threats move at AI speed.

Sophos AI Defense helps you understand how AI is used across your organization, apply guardrails, and reduce risk using the Sophos security controls you already have.

AI security is making cyber authorities panic because AI is accelerating discovery faster than long term defence planning can keep up. Even post quantum cryptography roadmaps now feel slow against the speed of AI, which means the foundations of trust may need replacing sooner than expected.

In this tutorial, we provide a detailed walkthrough of the Transaction Policy Overview Screen, designed to streamline your management of transaction policies. This powerful tool consolidates all essential information into a single interface, eliminating the need to switch between multiple screens. Key Features of the Policy Overview Screen: Centralized Access: Quickly access pinned and compliance policies at the top of the screen.

Post quantum cryptography could break money by exposing how fragile digital payments and financial trust systems become when encryption starts to fail. Once secure transactions stop being reliably secure, the meaning of value, scarcity and financial control starts to change with it.

Age verification started with pornography. Then social media. Now governments want it on operating systems, in message scanning and across every aspect of your digital life. But nobody is asking the security community how to do this safely. Age verification companies are gathering biometric data, saying they don't retain it, then getting hacked anyway. Encryption backdoors have been discussed for years. And every new regulation is being implemented without consulting the people who actually understand the risks.

MSP Unscripted Episode 1, featuring Alvaro Gonzalez (Assured Data Protection), discusses how MSPs can build repeatable, scalable cyber resilience services through productization, clean recovery, and operational best practices.

Standard incident response is failing to keep pace with long-term threat campaigns. Adam Karcher from the FBI explains why the most effective security teams run their operations as an inverted offensive strategy, leveraging continuous adversary emulation to stop intrusions before they begin.
