By Chinenye Anuforo

Sophos, an innovative cybersecurity solutions firm, has unveiled Sophos Advisory Services, a new suite of proactive security testing offerings designed to help organizations identify and close gaps in their cybersecurity programs before they can be exploited by attackers.

The newly launched services include External Penetration Testing, Internal Penetration Testing, Wireless Network Penetration Testing, and Web Application Security Assessment, each tailored to help organizations strengthen defenses, enhance compliance, and maximize the value of existing security investments.

In today’s evolving threat landscape, regular security assessments are critical for organizations of all sizes to stay ahead of cybercriminals, maintain compliance, and build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

The Sophos State of Ransomware 2025 Report reveals that exploited vulnerabilities remain the leading cause of ransomware attacks, with 65% of organizations reporting that known or unknown security gaps were a factor in their exposure.

“Adversaries are becoming increasingly adept at exploiting even the smallest cracks in an organization’s defenses,” said Jake Dorval, Senior Director, Sophos Advisory Services. “With Sophos Advisory Services, we give customers a proactive edge, helping them identify and remediate weaknesses before attackers can take advantage. Backed by real-time insights from Sophos X-Ops threat intelligence, our experts help organizations strengthen resilience, meet compliance requirements, and build lasting stakeholder trust.”

Each Advisory Service leverages Sophos X-Ops, the company’s cross-functional threat intelligence unit that integrates data from threat researchers, hunters, and incident responders, to deliver cutting-edge assessments informed by real-world attack patterns and emerging threats.
