Challenge
The internal security team at Sophos uses a wide range of products to deliver a comprehensive service that keeps the company and its employees safe from cybersecurity threats. Making all of these products work together can be a huge task in such a large organization. This means they needed a way of simplifying the creation of complex workflows that orchestrate between many products.
Why Tines?
Sophos’ Tom Sage explains how the company makes use of Tines to keep its employees and data around the world safe.
"Phishing can be a serious threat to a company’s security, and protecting against these attacks is just one way we use Tines. When a user reports a suspicious email, Tines extracts data from the messages, such as URLs and file attachments. It then passes them to a number of scanning tools such as antivirus software and sandboxing tools that automatically test links and files to determine what they do.
"Tines then takes the results of these tests and adds them to our ticketing system for a security analyst to pick up. Thanks to Tines, the first time an analyst looks at the case, they already have all the information they need to decide what action to take.
