At NUMENTIS, a proud Sophos partner, we deliver enterprise-grade MDR and XDR solutions tailored for small and mid-sized businesses. By leveraging Sophos’ cutting-edge security platforms, we combine continuous threat hunting, advanced analytics, and automated response into a single managed offering—giving you peace of mind without the need for an in-house security team.
Why MDR and XDR Matter for Businesses
Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting SMBs, assuming they lack robust defenses. Ransomware, phishing, and supply-chain attacks have surged across Canada. Sophos MDR and Sophos XDR address these threats by ingesting telemetry from endpoints, networks, email, and cloud workloads to paint a complete picture of your risk landscape. NUMENTIS’ managed services ensure you’re monitored 24/7 by Sophos-certified analysts who act the moment a threat appears.
Core Components of Sophos MDR
- 24/7 monitoring by Sophos Threat Hunters and NUMENTIS security experts
- Sophos Intercept X to block malware, exploits, and ransomware at the endpoint
- Real-time threat intelligence sourced from SophosLabs
- Automated playbooks for containment, isolation, and remediation
- Detailed incident forensics and post-event reporting
With Sophos MDR, SMBs gain proactive detection and swift mitigation without investing in specialist headcount.
Expanding Visibility with Sophos XDR
Sophos XDR extends beyond endpoint data. It unifies logs and alerts from firewalls, servers, cloud services, and email into the Sophos Central console. This correlation engine uncovers stealthy or multi-stage attacks that might evade siloed defenses. NUMENTIS configures XDR policies to match your unique environment, cutting down false positives and simplifying investigation workflows.
Implementing Sophos MDR/XDR with NUMENTIS
- Security Assessment: NUMENTIS evaluates your current posture, compliance obligations, and business priorities.
- Sophos Platform Deployment: We deploy Sophos Intercept X, XDR agents, and integrate your firewalls and email gateways.
- Custom Alerting & Playbooks: Together, we define escalation paths, RTO targets, and automated response actions.
- Integration & Automation: Alerts route seamlessly into your helpdesk or ITSM system for rapid ticketing.
- Ongoing Review: Quarterly tuning sessions refine detection rules and update playbooks based on evolving threats.
This turnkey approach ensures you’re protected from day one, with clear SLAs and transparent reporting.
Real-World Impact

Within moments, NUMENTIS and Sophos Threat Hunters isolated the affected endpoints and revoked compromised sessions—neutralizing the risk before any data exfiltration occurred.
Cost-Efficiency and Predictable Pricing
