Sophos CISO Advantage uses AI to prioritize security fixes
Sophos has released Sophos CISO Advantage, a service that uses agentic AI to link day-to-day security operations with longer-term security strategy. The goal is to tell businesses where their cyber risk lies, which fixes to fund first, and whether things are getting better over time.
The company says the output is written in plain language so that business leaders, not only security staff, can understand it, approve budgets and act on it. Sophos describes the offering as a new market category.
From security data to a roadmap
CISO Advantage assesses an organization's environment and maps its controls against established frameworks. These include NIST CSF (the US National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cybersecurity Framework), CIS v8, Cyber Essentials Plus (a UK certification scheme), and NCSC CAF, the Cyber Assessment Framework published by the UK's National Cyber Security Centre.
