Ever wonder how long it takes to untangle a cyber mystery? Thanks to AI, that time just got a whole lot shorter.

🚀 Today's big thing

  • Sophos uses OpenAI's Daybreak to cut the time it takes to investigate cyber threats by 96%. Imagine trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle and then discovering that most pieces automatically fall into place while you sleep. That's what Daybreak does for cybersecurity experts--it automates much of their work, allowing them to focus on the trickiest parts with greater efficiency.
  • What makes this noteworthy? Daybreak, a form of artificial intelligence from OpenAI, helps Sophos handle 52% of its managed detection and response cases without human intervention, while still keeping humans in the loop for crucial decisions. This means faster resolutions and potentially heading off larger issues before they balloon out of control.
