This piece outlines Sophos executive Dan Cole’s view that cybersecurity is shifting from prevention-first to resilience and response, with success measured by how quickly organizations detect, contain, and recover from incidents. He emphasizes the growing role of MDR for organizations lacking 24/7 expertise, the dual use of AI to scale both attacks and defensive triage, and the need for consistent, user-centric controls in hybrid work—concluding that effective security balances technology, people, and process.
