⏱️ 2 min read

Sophos has announced the general availability of Sophos AI Defense. According to Sophos, AI Defense is designed to identify unsanctioned AI tools and agents and enforce usage policies across devices, networks, identity systems and browsers.

Sophos AI Defense Highlights

The product maps AI activity across an organization’s environment and assesses user behaviour and data interactions to identify activity that may require action. It also applies real-time controls to prompts, uploads and other AI interactions to help prevent sensitive data exposure.

Sophos AI Defense integrates with Sophos Fusion and feeds activity into Sophos XDR, enabling security teams and Sophos MDR analysts to investigate and respond using existing workflows.

“Organizations are adopting AI faster than they can secure it, and most security teams can’t answer three basic questions: which AI tools are running, what data is going into them, and whether that activity lines up with policy,” said Kyle Falkenhagen, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Sophos. “Sophos AI Defense gives security teams that visibility and the control to act on it, so they can say yes to AI and know exactly what they’re saying yes to.”

Sophos AI Defense is available now.
