Sophos says OpenAI Daybreak agents cut threat response time from 38 minutes to 89 seconds
Overview
Sophos says agents it built through OpenAI Daybreak, combined with its cybersecurity expertise, cut average response time from 38 minutes to 89 seconds for cases those agents handled, and automated 52% of its managed detection and response (MDR) cases.
The company says the agents help its MDR team investigate threats faster while human judgment stays central to the process.
The figures are Sophos's own, published in first-party OpenAI-hosted material, and the company's reports describe the investigation-time reduction as 96%. The results apply only to cases the agents handled, and no independent verification or broader rollout measure has been reported.
