Sophos integrated OpenAI Daybreak into its Sophos Fusion cyber defense system, enabling AI agents to investigate and respond to security cases. The average response time for cases using these agents dropped from 38 minutes to 89 seconds, and 52% of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) cases are now resolved end-to-end by AI within boundaries set by Sophos analysts. The system processes trillions of daily sensor events into 1,000–2,000 cases across nine security operations centres.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://openai.com/index/sophos:

> Before Daybreak, investigating and responding to a case depended primarily on human expertise. Sophos’s existing process averaged around 38 minutes — performance Peterson says was better than 96% of professional security operations centres. "Now, because of the agents we’ve been able to build through the Daybreak programme, the average response time for cases using those agents has fallen to about 89 seconds. About half of the cases we handle are now being automated by agents we developed using the Daybreak models."
