Sophos Cuts Threat Investigation Time With OpenAI Daybreak
◆ The brief
Cybersecurity company Sophos has teamed up to use a tool from OpenAI called Daybreak. This technology helps security analysts investigate computer threats much faster than before. In fact, it cut the time it takes to investigate cyber threats by a massive 96 percent. It also automates over half of all Managed Detection and Response cases. Automation means computers do routine tasks without a human needing to click every button. Even with computers doing the heavy lifting, human experts still oversee the process to make sure mistakes are caught. This shows how artificial intelligence, or AI computer systems that can reason and learn, is changing the cybersecurity industry. Sophos hopes this will help catch hackers before they can cause serious damage to computer networks. Cybersecurity teams are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of attacks they face daily. Tools like Daybreak could become standard equipment for protecting corporate networks in the future.
