📈 Sophos Introduces OpenAI GPT Cyber Models to Managed Risk Platform

Sophos has announced Exploit Path Verification (EPV), a new capability for its Sophos Managed Risk service powered by OpenAI's GPT cyber models through the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network. The solution aims to help cybersecurity teams prioritize and remediate real-world exploitable vulnerabilities. • Core Functionality: Evaluates asset/patch states, network reachability, identity privileges, and endpoint protection policies to deliver clear, evidence-backed exploitability verdicts (e.g., Confirmed Exploitable, Blocked by a Control, Not Reachable). • Key Capabilities: Identifies chained exploit paths across multiple low-severity findings, assesses control effectiveness, and automatically drafts remediation instructions for ticketing systems. • Human-in-the-Loop Safeguards: EPV operates as an advisory tool where all AI-generated verdicts display supporting evidence and are reviewed by Sophos analysts before delivery. • Availability: Official release date for the new feature will be announced at a later date. _Note: This release highlights global tech developments in cybersecurity and AI adoption; direct impact on Sri Lanka's domestic market or economic indicators is not specified in the data._
