Sophos says it is using OpenAI’s Daybreak to speed up cyber‑threat investigations. The company reports a 96% drop in the time needed to examine alerts. It also says Daybreak automates 52% of its managed detection and response (MDR) cases while still keeping humans in the loop. The claim comes from a Sophos press release dated Oct 9 2026.

Why it matters

Security teams can handle more alerts with fewer hours of work, freeing analysts for higher‑impact tasks.
