Sophos says OpenAI Daybreak cuts threat investigation time by 96%
The company says its AI agents now handle many MDR cases in seconds and resolve more than half of them without further work.
Sophos says OpenAI Daybreak has helped it cut threat investigation time by 96% and speed up incident handling for its managed detection and response work. The company says cases handled with the agents it built through Daybreak now average about 89 seconds of response time. It also says AI agents fully resolve 52% of MDR cases end to end. Sophos says the programme lets it apply its security expertise more broadly across customers and keep pace with attackers.
Why it matters
For customers using Sophos’s managed detection and response service, the main change is speed: more cases are being handled automatically, and fewer need manual follow-up. Sophos says that lets it apply the same security expertise across more customers while keeping pace with attackers, which points to faster response at scale rather than just a local workflow improvement.
