Sophos has acquired US-based Rook Security to provide managed detection and response (MDR) to its channel partners.
Rook was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Indianapolis. Sophos said the acquisition adds to its recent deal for DarkBytes, which was announced in January.
Joe Levy, chief technology officer at Sophos, said: “Cybercriminals are relentlessly trying to exploit organisations with techniques ranging from tried-and-true phishing emails to the more recent trend of ‘hacker pen-testing’ to find weaknesses in their surface area.
