Cybersecurity is a constant battle, and this episode brings you up to speed on the latest developments from Sophos. Uncle Marv welcomes Ryan Gebauer to discuss how Sophos is tackling state-sponsored attacks and ransomware with innovative solutions like AI-powered threat detection and end-to-end cybersecurity tools.

Key highlights include:

Ransomware Realities: Why paying the ransom often leads to higher recovery costs and doesn’t guarantee data restoration. Learn why a recovery-first mindset is essential for businesses.
Pacific Rim Threats: Insights from Sophos’ five-year study on state-sponsored cyberattacks targeting edge devices like firewalls—and how hackers have evolved their tactics over time.
Sophos Firewall Updates: Version 21 introduces enhanced security features like third-party threat feeds integration for real-time updates against malicious activity.
SecureWorks Acquisition: How this move strengthens Sophos’ portfolio with advanced XDR tools and compliance-focused solutions like identity detection and response.
Actionable Tips: From patching legacy systems to educating clients about phishing risks, Ryan shares practical advice for IT professionals to stay ahead of cyber threats.

Whether you’re an MSP or a business owner, this episode delivers invaluable insights into protecting your digital assets in an increasingly hostile environment.
