Microsoft 365 is at the heart of today’s workplace, and for many organisations, Microsoft’s native security capabilities form the foundation of their cybersecurity strategy, making Microsoft E5 the default choice when looking to enhance security.
However, upgrading every user to Microsoft E5 can significantly increase licensing costs, even though other options are available to strengthen security. As cyber threats continue to evolve, partners have an opportunity to help customers maximise their existing Microsoft investment while delivering stronger security outcomes.
Sophos MDR provides partners with a smarter way to strengthen Microsoft 365 security. Below, we’ll explore three key reasons why it has become a valuable addition to Microsoft 365 security conversations.

Sophos MDR extends security visibility across Microsoft 365, helping customers strengthen protection without the need to upgrade every user to Microsoft E5.
