My team is small, and it\u2019s great knowing if we\u2019re all busy putting out IT fires, MDR is ready to take action if my team is unable to respond immediately to suspicious activity. This is much better than relying on alerts that we need to investigate. Of course, we have alerts enabled, but setting the thresholds for the alerts is nearly impossible. The alerts are either not sensitive enough and we\u2019ll miss something important, or the alerts are too sensitive and we receive too many to investigate. Sophos MDR didn\u2019t just solve this problem; it completely removed it.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/sophos-mdr\/reviews\/sophos-mdr-review-8191648\">More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 24\/7 threat-hunting service from Sophos MDR stands out as a feature of utmost importance, providing around-the-clock vigilance and prompt reaction to emerging threats.
