Sophos Elevates Cybersecurity with Internal Attack Surface Management for Proactive Risk Mitigation: A TechMoran Report
Sophos, a prominent provider of security solutions engineered to defeat cyberattacks, has announced a significant advancement in its offerings: Internal Attack Surface Management (IASM). This new capability, integrated into Sophos Managed Risk, is powered by cutting-edge technology from Tenable. The primary goal of IASM is to deliver comprehensive visibility into an organization’s internal and external weaknesses, which could potentially be exploited by sophisticated threat actors. This ensures that businesses, including those growing across Africa, can proactively identify and mitigate risks.
Unifying Visibility and Prioritizing Remediation for Critical Cyber Risks
The introduction of Internal Attack Surface Management is designed to fundamentally change how organizations perceive and manage their cybersecurity posture. Rob Harrison, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Sophos, highlighted the strategic advantage IASM provides: “With Sophos Managed Risk, organizations gain an attacker’s-eye view to identify and prioritize remediation of risks before adversaries can exploit them. The solution offers a unified view of both internal and external exposures, prioritized by risk and paired with clear remediation guidance.” This unified approach is critical, enabling organizations to strategically focus their efforts on the most critical vulnerabilities and resolve them swiftly. Many businesses worldwide continue to operate with critical blind spots in their cyber defenses, leaving them exposed to potential breaches. Reinforcing this urgent need for enhanced security measures, the Sophos State of Ransomware 2025 report revealed a stark reality: 40% of organizations impacted by ransomware in the last year reported falling victim, often due to unaddressed vulnerabilities. IASM directly addresses this challenge by providing the insights necessary to pre-empt such devastating attacks.
Through Sophos’s Internal Attack Surface Management, organizations can move beyond reactive security measures. By offering a clear, prioritized roadmap for addressing vulnerabilities, this solution empowers businesses to significantly bolster their defenses, reduce their attack surface, and ultimately enhance their resilience against the persistent and evolving threats in the cyber landscape.
