Do you ever wonder how our expert Threat Hunting teams can stop attackers in their tracks? You — and your customers — can learn first hand by attending Season 3 of the Sophos Threat Hunting Academy. Our focus this season? Threat response. 

Over the course of five live sessions, we’ll take a deep dive into how Sophos threat response teams are able to recognize, contain and neutralize an attack. Our experts will walk you through response strategies in real-time, demonstrate recommended actions to quickly learn as much as possible about the threat, and present tactics taken to defend against the attacker. 

By covering critical details such as data cleanup and asset protection, our Threat Hunters drill into post-attack activities to ensure the wider organizational network is safe, both now and in the future. More importantly, they’ll examine how to prevent similar attacks from reoccurring. 

Be prepared to help your customers (and prospects!) learn what an effective cyber plan entails by joining us. Be sure to invite your customers so they can ensure the plans and measures they already have in place are as effective as they can be.  

Best of all, our fifth and final session features Sophos experts from our Managed Threat Detection and Incident Response (MTR) division who will explore what we’ve learned from seeing an attack manifest and then be contained, and we’ll focus on key takeaways that can be applied in your own environment.   

Please note: You do not have to attend the initial seasons of our Threat Hunting Academy to enroll in this series. Following five sessions that make up Season 3, we will distribute a brief test for those interested in becoming a Sophos Threat Response Certified Admin
